Regarding the deadline for the test scores, I have a feedback from the adcoms:

“Test taker copies at this point is fine. As you mention, we will verify scores later in the process! We will still consider your application.”

35 days later. LBS follow their published Application Calendar pretty well

I applied in R2. Is there anyway we can ask the LBS about our application status? I have deadline for non refundable deposit for another school and I am really confused what to do. Any suggestions?

It’s barely been a week since applications were due, I really don’t think LBS will bring forward a decision for you

Yes and this makes it very tricky for me, should I play the gamble and pass on the opportunity in hand and wait for LBS or should I accept this offer, in which case it will cost me a lot of money should I receive a positive email from LBS.

I would rather suggest take the current option if you do not have any other offers because risk will be high and money you will be spending for non refundable fees is insignificant compared to school fees.

If you are sure that you will get in lbs, then go ahead.

Thank you for this suggestion. Is there anyone else here who is also facing the same dilemma?

Depends on your current school admit. Which school?

See, ideally you shouldn't see what others are doing. Only you'll know your current situation. So, you should take a decision on your own.

It's a huge risk to let go an admit that you have in your hand currently. Cass is a decent school if you are seeking employment in the UK. But yes, it's not LBS. If you can take the risk and you are super confident about LBS then wait for it. You may not get it. In which you will have to wait for another year or apply for January intake at other schools. Very few have January intake.

But please don't reach out to LBS asking for an update. It's just been 1 week. It reflects poorly on you. You should have thought about the time lines before applying and strategised accordingly (applied to Cass after LBS).

ROI matters too. You got a decent scholarship from Cass I guess. Brand alone won't do anything for you. It does help. But what matters more is how well you make use of the schools resources while at the program.

Hope this helps.

I agree that Cass is a decent school and I primarily targeted schools with respect to their reputation in London as I plan to find work in London post MBA. I applied to both schools in R2 with the deadlines arranged, but Cass finished the whole process very quickly to my surprise.

But you are right, I will have to think hard about this as it's risky to waste a offer in hand for something that I am not sure about yet.
