Does anyone know what percentage are invited to interview, and what percentage will get offer in the end?

The LBS interview seems quite challenging.

Just got an email about setting up the interview, saying that they will send me the alumni's contact details shortly, and then I must get in touch with them in order to organise it from there

Question for the stats studs/studettes,

What % of total applicants get interview invites, % of admits among interviewed applicants, % of waitlisted applicants who get admitted. I have the feeling that LBS does not operate a massive WL compared to some other BSchools.

Others on this forum have said roughly 70% of those interviewed are admitted

As a previous applicant who got interviewed.. I would say around 45-50% of those interviewed get accepted. LBS's waitlist seems very small. R1 has only 2-3 people reported in GC to be on waitlist.

Food for thought: I read somewhere that as a rough benchmark, LBS calls about 30% of all applicants for interviews and then accepts about 70% afterwards for final offers... About 85% will accept the offer or defer!


This is what I read earlier

hello Lisab,

May I ask what interview details have you received for NYC? I'm based in Asia and the interview is supposed to happen on Feb 26. However I will be in US for a business trip at that time. Sad.

Can any body please share information on how LBS looks at candidates applying to R3 (march). I know that US prefer candidates applying to early rounds and pretty much doesn't consider international candidates applying for march rounds due to the visa issues, but how about LBS? Many thanks

I bought the Clear Admit interview guide for LBS and went over it. I guess the prep is going to be mostly practising out loud on the questions in there and from the forums... I don't know what else to do really.

What are u guys planning to do?

My interview (in R1) went very well... questions asked are typical MBA interview questions which u can check over here:
https://www.clearadmit.com/wiki/index.ph ... nInterview

You will have an impromptu presentation where the interviewer will provide u with a subject, u have 5 minutes to prepare, and 5 minutes to present it! ... don't worry from this part, it's easier than u think... even easier then the interview questions!

Good Luck for all
