Hi friends,

I am starting a new thread for the aspirants, seeking for admissions in the Internationally recognised, Top 2-Tier B-Schools in UK, the Stathclyde, Durham, Leeds, Bradford, Aston, Bath, Edinburgh, etc. There have been some useful threads in PG, for these B-schools, in the previous years.

This forum might give us, an opportunity and a great platform, to discuss the application, interview, admissions, scholarships, loans & further joining these reputed B-schools.

I welcome all the fellow PGs, aspirants and the current students/alumni to share there experiences and guide us to get admission into these ranked Global MBA pragrams.

Cheers :thumbsup:

Saurabh.

Guys,

I applied for the Bath MBA by regular Paper application and have got an e-mail from them, that they are accepting online applications.

So, do I need to do a fresh application again ? Or just I need to mail them my Docs, LRs & SOP, in a soft-copy format. Will my LORs suffice the needs, or do I need to get it with the referee link ? I have applied to most of the Schools, with Paper/hard-copy application & have recieved the acknowledgements from them.
I have mailed these queries to them (Bath), as well.. but no response yet.

What to do guys...confused ?Plz help.
Thx.

I have got an Unconditional offer from Aston Business School. I need to pay 1000 GBP, within 6 weeks from the date of issue (23/12/09), to hold the seat & confirm my Candidature.
Waiting for some other offers, in the pipeline.

Hello lovejoykiljoy,

Hey,

Congrats for the offer.
How is Leeds MBA ? I've also applied over there.
I've heard that, the career services out there is one of the best & they really arrange numerous career/recruitment camps/job fairs in the campus.
& secondly the Leeds advantage..being a bigger place than Durham/Bath etc.. so Post-MBA jobs & even part-time jobs (if time permits) is definitely better than its other counterparts.. What do u say?
Have u made your mind ??
