I am very worried - when I clicked submit, I thought they would ask to review the whole application again. They did not and I realized I have a few gaps in my application and some things I wanted to change.
I emailed them about it and they said they'll just let the admissions team know. My essays are good I feel, I put a lot of work into them but I don't know, there are a few questions in the application I would have answered differently / included more details.
LBS is by far my first choice and I don't know, I feel I could have made a few changes, added more details that would have provided more details about my experiences and activities.

Apparently I didn't upload a copy of my GMAT report. They e-mailed me and asked for it. I cant believe I missed such a simple thing. Attention to detail....check.

you mean you didn't self report your scores cause they don't ask for a copy of the report, they just ask you to input your scores and then send the official scores through GMAC, correct??

Nope I self reported, but I guess I overlooked the report upload. They were looking for the actual copy of my report, so I e-mailed that. There's an upload for the GMAT report on the application, right?

No. I just logged in to double check and they do not ask for the GMAT report at any point. Maybe they asked you for it because they did not receive the official report. I am not sure really.

By the way, did any of you get any confirmation email from the school saying that your application is complete and under review? Does LBS typically send confirmation emails?

I got three e-mails, aside from the e-mail regarding my missing GMAT report. The first was acknowledging receipt of my application, then the second and third to let me know my recommendations had been submitted. I have not received any e-mails updating my status though.

I got the same three confirmation emails - one from each recommender submission and the application complete emails.

As for the GMAT, I also logged in to check this to ensure I didn't miss it. Yes, they don't ask for a copy of the GMAT report on the online form, just manually entered scores.

I apologize if the question seems simplistic, but I'm not entirely familiar with the British educational qualification nomenclature. I took some courses at a community college and transferred between schools, but only received a single undergraduate degree from one school. Should I therefore list only the degree-granting institution under "qualifications," and upload transcripts for all schools under "transcripts," or should I include every school attended under the "qualifications" heading?

Thanks!

Historically via e-mail. Although I hear they have a new application system these days.

They send it by e-mail after 1700 GMT on the deadline.. the later you get e-mail from LBS the better.. dings start flowing out earlier... this is what I can make out from last years' forum..

hey for all those confused on submitting a scanned copy of the gmat score report...it is NOT reqd...

i gt a mail as well asking for a copy, but it had to do with the fact tht they were unable to access my official score report thru gmac (for wtever reason)...so nowhre on the system does it ask u to submit a copy..but in case they do not receive/access ur official score report - then they will get in touch with you for a scanned copy



thanks...

There cannot be too many, considering they released the application form way too late in the process. I can tell you 10 different reasons why someone would delay their applications to the second round because of the initial release date. Additionally, I went for an info session in New York, and of the 10 or so people that I spoke with, I was the only one who submitted his application for Round 1. Though a small sample, that kind of glimpses the numbers I think. If they actually are committed to filling up that many spots in the first round, that should be to our advantage.

I seriously scrambled to get my app in for R1. I only had one other school submitted for R1 and I wanted to get two in at minimum so I made sure to pull through with LBS. Hopefully it works out although I'm worried I didn't spend enough time on my essays.. oh well.. one week to go!
