Hi,
I am an ex-army officer with a gmat score of 710. Decent undergrad performance and 10 years of experience.
Does LBS place emphasis on diversity ?
I am no expert on LBS, but I do see a lot of diverse profiles listed on their website and other blogs... so I am sure like any other top school they value diversity...
Also your army experience can play a big role in leadership/teamwork essays... :)

Hello LBS aspirants,
I will be applying for fall 2008 batch in the 1st stage. I have a question.
Is it an absolute must to get a transcript of university degree. If I get the transcript by post I am not sure if I would ever get it.
It is not possible for me to go to school at the moment and get the transcript.
Do they accept the notorized copy of marksheet and degree?

Manoj,
as far as I know London does ask for official transcripts and I did send them my official ones... i had emailed them earlier about attested copies and they had turned it down... you can try and see if they'll agree... they do give you a grace window of a few days past the deadline to be able to get ur supplementary docs to them...
hope this helped!

Ankita,
This forum is specifically for people applying to London Business School's MBA program... there are some other threads on PG to help with college selection and such topics, but this one isn't the right place... the london business school does have a finance program and here is the link: Masters in Finance: London Business School, Programmes - Masters (MSc) in Finance at London Business School being the top school in UK, i'd suspect that the shool wants a decent number of years of work experience, but you should email them and check.
All the best

Navin,
The current class has a GMAT avg of 682... so i'd say as long as you are around that average score your gmat score is fine... GMAT typically doesn't cause a lot of turbulence in ur app unless one is outside of the GMAT range (600 to 800 in this case)...

ATB,
Thanks for that response. Any reason that one could think off, as to why the GMAT Average for LBS is less than its peer group in the top tier B-Schools. Infact even SAID at CAMBRIGE has the same averge,

Navin,
I'd like to think that London is more focussed on holistically evaluating the candidates rather than focusing on increasing the average gmat score...
Whereas SAID (oxford) and Judge (cambridge) still have catching up to do...
my two cent...

Inshallah 😃 I really hope to get admitted to one of the target programs I am applying. Seeing the quality of candidates, I notice that competition is tough, but if I get thru, a high quality of peer group is guaranteed!
ATB!
