Hello forum members.
I had a question about the second essay in LBS application - "Is there any other information you believe the Admissions Committee should know about you and your application to London Business School? "

Now, most schools ask a response to the optional essay to explain gaps, choice of recommenders, etc. But, for LBS does the optional essay mean the same thing? Can people who have applied advise, whether this space can be used to give more insights on me as an applicant, or is it just to justify some negatives in my profile?

aksb I’m a R1 admit to the LBS ft MBA. To answer your question - I took the second essay to basically write a different essay that would set me apart from the rest of the applicant pool. Hence, at least from my experience - use it to differentiate yourself from others and try to provide how you are different from everyone else. Hope this helps.

Hi guys, I want to ask how much you added in professional qualifications section and if there are thoughts on what’s appropriate? I have things ranging from Coursera/EDx certifications to being certified as a Scrum Master/Product Owner. What’s too "small" to add here?

Heyaksb. ufcanmba is definetely right, you want to utilize that "optional" essay strategically. I sent you a PM with more detail

Hey Hadi566, can I know what you would write in the optional essay as well?

Is this question required to be filled by everyone?

Please outline your experience of working or studying in an English-speaking environment. Do you plan to take further English language tuition before the programme starts? (300 words max)

I don't remember if this was a mandatory question but you can answer briefly explaining that English was your medium of communication in your undergraduate degree and professional experience so you dont see a need to take any additional exam. At least thats what I wrote in my application.

Hello Everyone...I have a question on "Responsibilities", For current employment, I have an option to elaborate it using 400 words (max). But for previous roles, do we need to be as elaborate as the first one. Any advice from R1 admits?
