    Avoid rushing an early submission at the expense of application quality. Adcom consider your whole application. So, focus on showcasing your best self in every aspect. Also, good luck with your GMAT! :thumbsup:
Thank you!

if you have a transcript / official letter from college that says that your undergraduate degree is in English (mode of teaching) then you can just mail the admission committee and keep a track of the ticket

Looking for GMAT advice.

Got a 625 after scoring 655 in 2 latest mocks. Score was dragged a lot by a very poor data insights performance. This is confusing since I never scored below DI 80 on any mocks and got a 75 in the real test. Verbal was also lower than my average on mocks of around 84.

I’m an English applicant with 2 finance internships, developing a startup, 4.0 GPA in accounting/finance at a top 20 UK uni.

Do I retake or go ahead and apply with the 625 knowing that’s below the average of 635?

Thanks!

Your alone won’t be the reason for the rejection, mention in the application that you are going to retake again.

@arpanmohata- Assuming your studies were fully in English, you can request a waiver for IELTS/ TOEFL. Pls drop an email to AdCom to confirm this, also attaching your graduation certificate

Ok lil update I just took the GMAT and I got a 615, ik the average for LBS MiM is 635 but would this be okay to apply with? (I have some good internship background and a 2:1 Bachelor degree)

I am planning to retake but I do want to apply in the next few weeks and spend a little more time for my second attempt later on, not sure what to do.

Hello Arpan, Aanya here. I’m a London Business School graduate and ex-interviewer.

The work experience in months doesn’t matter at LBS till the time you’re a 2023 grad! You may reach out to me on +91 9971444312 if you want a profile evaluation/strategise how to go about it.

In the last one year, we’ve helped 15+ students get into LBS, 10+ into HEC, 10+ into INSEAD, and 11+ to Duke. You can check out http://www.uniadvise .in for more details. You can also check my LinkedIn by searching Aanya Jain LBS!

Looking forward to speaking to you soon.

Regards
