Lancaster 2008; interviews & beyond

[maxximus]

Dear All

This thread is dedicated to the admission in Lancaster University in 2008.

I applied around 40 days back and within 10 days, got a reply to get in touch with an alumnus. When this alumnus didnt reply for 10 days, I was asked to contact another alumnus. This time I got a response and had a phone interview.

Now I have got an e mail that I need to have a final interview with the director. Please share your experiences...

Regards

Hie...

Seems not many buyers for Lancaster. By one of the most reputed rankings, it stands # 28 in world...n within top 5 in almuni progress and ROI.

Anyways...the news...I've made into the Lancaster University Management School as well.

Options do far..

Boston...100% schol.

ISB...interview scheduled on 3rd Jan

Lancaster...admit but the university does not offer schols.

CAT...had a pathetic day, gettin 22 in quant...may get few lower rung IIM calls...not counting on it

Would love to hear...which is the best option.

Regards,
Maxximus

Hi Maxximus,
I am an aspirant for Lancaster MBA, just submitted the app online.
what are the documents to be sent by courier?
Also, do we need to ask GMAC to send GMAT report to the university or I can send a copy of the report. Also do we need to send marksheet + degree cert and/or transcripts for the undergrad degree.

Thanks for you help!
Anil

Hi Anil!

Congrats on clearing phase-I interview. It was imperative to clear the alumnus interview as I've seen people getting rejected by alumni. Admission Director is a true gentleman, he would get very familiar with you and have a very informal, interesting discussion. Throw him hints on things u wanna talk about n he'll grab them. All in all, it'll be a very general i/v..

tell abt ur job
one challenge during job
wats leadership for u
one instance where u displayed leadership
one ethical dilemma
problems in indian economy, growth
what if u were pm of india
y lancaster
international exposure
difference u believe u'll find b/w an indian n a british

n he'll be eager to answer ur questions...have a confident outing...n feel free to contact me if u wish to know anything more....

Maxximus
