Today afternoon I received the infamous “Regret” from London Business School. Given that I got an interview invite from Wharton and the increase in class size of LBS, I was confident of getting an interview, if not an admit. Find below the feedback I received.
Feedback to Unsuccessful MBA 2011 Candidates
Due to the high volume of applications we receive, we regret we cannot give individual feedback. However, we hope that these general comments will be helpful to you.
Why are people not short-listed for interview?
Our initial review of each application checks that candidates have met our basic admissions criteria. We are also looking for appropriate experience, well written essays, evidence of a lively, enquiring, reflective mind, leadership potential, team working skills and supportive references. An international outlook is another very important factor.
GMAT scores below the average score of the last class, 690, can make an application less competitive, as can a poor undergraduate performance.
