was wondering if someone can help with this - i've submitted my application online, but while submitting I wasn't able to make the fee payment. I thought I'd do it later, but now I can't even see my application once I login on the london.edu website. I've emailed and called admissions about this already, but haven't heard back. If anyone knows of a way to resolve this please do let me know - I don't want my app to suffer because of a missed fee payment!

All- I created a fb group for all admits to MBA class of 2017. Below is the link. Pls feel free to join so that we all can get to know each other!

https://www.facebook.com/groups/1580000225551884/


Thanks.

Are any of you guys looking at loans for international students? There seems to only be reference to prodigy finance but they seem to cap the loan at 25,000 leaving a pretty substantial amount unfunded - seems to be a lot more loan options in the US with loan terms of up 100%. Any useful links/info anyone has come across? Cheers

Hi,
I also plan to apply for the prodigy finance, the amount you have mentioned is for one year so you can multiply it by two, of course you need to apply it for the second year also,

i asked it to prodigy finance and got the answer above

Hey,

Natwest, a UK bank, have an MBA loan that might be a better option. I think international students can access it too.

Yep, the prodigy finance programme is yearly - on their website you'll see the last round of funding was open to "Eligibility: MBA class of 2015 (full time), MBA class of 2016, (full time), or MiFFT class of 2015 (full time)."

So each year it opens to the current class and the incoming MBA class. Thus you're looking at c.48k of funding potentially possible over the two years.

I think NatWest have stopped the MBA loans - all that really remains in the UK is the CDL for residents and nationals, and is only 10k. Although this one is interest free until graduation.

FROM LBS Current Students Blog: Term 1 reloaded


Apparently this is the most liked picture of the year by us students – thought you’d like to see it.

Nearly one week after finishing the last exams, and enjoying a relaxing holiday in the beach, I think it’s now a good moment to reflect on Term 1 and London Business School.

When I think about the fact that I started at LBS nearly 5 months ago, I question whether my feel for time is seriously distorted, because it feels like yesterday that I went to the Orientation day, and they called out all the different nationalities represented in the class.

So what can I say about those first 5 months?

Intense. Really intense.

The academic workload is high, and you are bombarded in lots of different directions from club opportunities to career services requests. A couple of people told me: why on Earth did I come here? I had my job, earning money, and now I am swamped with assignments, some of which I wonder their application in my future job.  There were a couple of days when I myself thought: I need to slow down a bit, otherwise I will burn out. But it’s ok. It’s a different environment. After all, you go back to the student life. But you spend a full weekend without mentioning the name LBS and you come back on Monday all reinvigorated and ready to rise up to the challenge.

Looking back, this intensity, at least on the academic front, is necessary. People start with very different backgrounds and they need to level the playing field, and fast, if everyone wants to be able to follow the class and have access to the same roles. I have learnt so much… I started without any knowledge in practically any of the topics (except for maybe a little in data,models and decisions), and now I feel confident in reading financial statements of a company, I can do valuation, I can analyse a strategy, I understand significantly more about microeconomics, I know how to do a Montecarlo simulation… The amount of stuff that you get exposed to in term 1 is large, and it’s good, because I find all of it very valuable.

Outside of the academics, you have more flexibility – you decide how many clubs you are involved in or how many activities you take on.

It’s funny to recognise a certain illness that only develops in business schools. They call it FOMO, or Fear of Missing Out. It’s quite impressive to see how easy it spreads and the curious symptoms is carries, which include paralysis and hysteria alike. It has a very easy medicine, though: just know what you want, and be prepared to make choices. If so, easy ride

Full of opportunities.

I remember, when I first went to the US, when I suddenly understood why it was called the land of opportunity. Well, I feel LBS is more than a land of opportunity. In just one term, and leaving aside all the course work, I have seen three guys of my class set-up their own company, one girl become an intern for Emilia Wickstead, the winners Private Equity competition getting 5,000, 3 students become non-executive directors of charities…

If you want to get into investment banking, you probably have already done 15 coffee chats. I have received invitations from several different consulting firms (and I am talking the big names in the business) to visit their offices and learn about summer internships.

Companies know that good people come to LBS so established companies with fixed recruiting schemes, like investment banking or consulting, come straight to campus, but so do start-ups or other companies that need support as one-offs. There is an atmosphere of people that mean business, and things happen.

People are there to support you

There are lots of things organised around you so that you can learn, so that you can experiment, so that you can….

If you want to go into consulting, you have case interview practice. If you are unsure which part of a company do you want to go into, there are a series of talks called “What is…?”, that have people from that practice to explain what their job is like. If you feel your Excel skills are a bit rusty around the edges, there is a workshop for you. All of those are club driven.

The career services is there too. They have some mandatory sessions to discuss CVs and interviews, and lots of voluntary ones that talk you from networking to LinkedIn to lessons learnt from entrepreneurs.

The point is: there is a whole environment that supports your learning and your professional development.

 

When I reflect on those past 5 months, I know one thing for sure: I made the right decision to come here.

What are the chances for scholarships for R2 applicants from the US? Also, where do most LBS students live? My biggest concern, were I to be admitted would be living costs in London. Thoughts?

Don't think the odds are much different to round 1 - its on merit so they'll be looking for certain things - if you stand out then you should get one - theres also a number of named ones that don't get decided until after the third round. If you have a great profile telling them you already hold admits elsewhere might give you a good shot at one.

Most students are new to the city so they'll live relatively close to the school - there is halls available through university of london or something - its never going to be cheap in London though.

I'll be staying where I am though - so south west london - might start commuting by bicycle (12miles from the school) however as trains aren't the cheapest...

I am a R2 applicant.
When I appeared for the GMAT I was not sure if I will be applying to LBS and so, I didn't ask GMAC to send the official score to LBS as a part of the 5 schools.

My question is, should I order an additional score report to be sent to LBS at the time of submitting my application or will self reported scores do fine for now?
