Hey guys - so the next round interview decision will be on the mentioned date only is it ?
Or can the invite/reject come anytime before the deadline also ?

The invite can come as soon as a week after you submit the application.

I got a Ding too

GMAT : 740 ( Q :51, V:40)
B.Tech IIT Delhi , 2004 passout
Average GPA.
Work ex 5 .5 years ( 2 years in Software , 2 year in Manual Trading and 1.5 Years in Algorithmic Trading in a startup hedge fund in India)......
I had earlier sent my resume for review and was encouraged to apply.
However one imortant point which was miising (as per my friend in LBS) is that I dont have any big brand name ( Morgan Staley etc ) which will make it difficult for me to get a Job Post MIF

Looks like a really good profile..

Well i have a good brand company, but workex is in tech - 3 yrs and 700 gmat.. good acads... so a lil doubtful too.. thanks anyway... good luck!

Heya admit...
did do an eligibility check 6 mts back and got a positive response from Peter...

thx a lot sir....

Puneet,
LBS requires a minimum of 2 years work experience to be eligible to apply to the MIF programme.
The average work exp is 6 years. They will consider a minimum of 3 years as acceptable; more the better though.
They look for people who have already worked in Finance or Fnance related functions and who are some what familiar with the finance world.
They also consider work experience in companies like Morgan stanley, even if it is IT related as acceptable, provided one has acquired some degree of understanding of the finance world- they would expect you to be familiar with the finance stuff.
Things like CFA will add value, particulalry if you don't have much of prior finance work experience.

While placements prior to 2008 were fairly good, with the recent financial sector melt down, placements have become difficult.
May be things will improve by 2011 June.
Good luck.
