Hi,

I am planning to apply in LBS R3. Please provide feedback whether my profile suits LBS or not. Below are my details

Age: 26
Experience: 7 yrs before the start of the program
GMAT: Taking mid feb. expected 700
Nationality: Pakistani
Undergrad: BS computer science from top CS university in the country gpa: 2.34 bcz of relative grading. equals 68% 2:1 degree. Full national scholarship holder. Distinction in secondary and high schools (A grades).
WE: Entrepreneur for 7 years. Worked in Pakistan(4 yrs), Dubai(1 month) and London(3 years).
I am running my own software and IT consultancy company with a team of 10 software engineers. The team of enginners is based in pakistan but i am in UK doing business development, client facing, onsite technology consulting, managing my offshore team remotely & also liasing with some remote clients in US, Canada, Europe, Australia. Majority of our clients are in UK. A couple of our clients are Fortune 500 companies.

When i arrived in UK 2.5 yrs ago, I worked FullTime in London in an IT Company for 2 years to gain some UK experience. At the sametime i constinued running my company alongwith the fulltime job. Since Jul 2010, working as a Technology Consultant on a project with British Telecom Ltd in London.

Extracurricular activites: Play club cricket, team captain. lead my team to win the county league last season. Voluntary work in earthquake and flood relief efforts,
Other activities include Gold Trading, participated in college societies/clubs during undergrad. etc.

Post MBA goals: work at MBB as a management/ Strategy consultant for 3-4 years and then setup my own management and technology consulting firm.

Please advise my suitability for LBS. I am taking my GMAT on 22nd Feb. and after that i will have 1 week to complete my application and submit for LBS. I have written a personal statement for my previous application to another school and have done the thought process. Also, i will also need help with my LBS essays feedback & ideas.

Thanks in advance

You definitely have a competitive profile. Sure this profile suits LBS, especially that it includes the technical, managerial, international/multicultural, entrepreneurial, as well as extracurricular aspects. From the academic side, just get a good GMAT score (700 would be perfect), then you're totally safe!
you have strong points, just know how to sell yourself
Go for it, Good Luck!

does anyone know when the tuition fee is going to be confirmed and what to expect?

They mentioned "during January"... so i expect this week!
no idea about the increase in fees, but my speculations say between 5 and 10%

I just received an email stating that tuition fees for MBA2013 have been set at £53,900

Hi all, just received an email notification saying my file is incomplete for round 2 . Official GMAT score's missing. Was pretty sure that report was submitted before the round 2 deadline. It's not a good start, getting anxious now.... Hope I will still be considered for round 2.

Hi all!
Did anyone else from the San Francisco Bay Area attend the London Business School event at Press Club last night?
It was a great networking event. Many alumni, applicants and R1 admitted students.

Damn LBS!

The school shouldn't play with our nerves at this moment by issuing emails to tell us about the 1st rank in FT! It almost got me a heart attack!

Don't worry, if the adcom has a problem with your application, they will contact you. Mine says 'submitted' even after getting the final admit!

Guys!
Looking for your views! I understand that UK is abolishing post study visa for students from April 2011. This means that non-EU students at LBS will not be eligible to work in the UK after graduation unless the employer will sponser a work permit. This really worries me. Doing MBA is a big investment and this news just adds a bit uncertainity. I really love LBS was planning to apply for R3 but now not sure. What do you guys think?

Thanx
