Hey Guys,

Does anybody know how competitive R3 is going to be this year? According to some current students, last year's R3 was as full as R2.

Cheers,

PGS17

I haven't received any details of my interviewer. They did say it could take up to 2 weeks to find someone suitable so I'm going to hang tight till the 22nd. I'll send an email after that.

On ClearAdmit wiki, there is an LBS interview report where the candidate was asked "One of your recommenders has wrote you take 'slow decisions', why would he have written like that ?"

So I would probably approach the interview with the understanding that the interviewer has read the recommendations.

My interviewer specifically mentioned some points from my recommendations as well, if you want further verification.

anyone has an idea of the post-interview acceptance ratio?
just want to figure out what percentage of those interviewed will get accepted

I've checked on Businessweek. They did not disclose this information.
