Hi guys,

I just received positive news from LBS, as I was invited to the interview!

At this point, I'm trying to know as much as possible on the interview processes at LBS, which questions should I expect, if there are any "common traps" and what they require for the presentation.

My profile:

- 1 year consulting
- just started working in a P/E firm

Total of 3 years experience at the beginning of the MBA

- Not strong GMAT (650 against average 694 of LBS). Actually done twice, both 650

Very strong TOEFL, many international experiences. Overall a strong profile.

Hope you can give me some advice guys!!

Many thanks

Here is the interview of one of our LBS interviewers:

A brief background about yourself.

I graduated from LBS in 2009, having previously worked in industry for ten years in a range of roles from operations to sales and business development. I currently work as an Investment Manager in a mid market private equity firm in London.

How has been your experience at LBS? Has LBS met all your career and personal aspirations? What do you like the most at LBS?
LBS is a fantastic institution. I met some amazing people, learned an enormous amount and made a step change in my career that simply wouldn't have been possible without it. The breadth of experience available within each class at LBS is staggering: no matter what the topic, someone will have a personal experience to bring the principles to life. The faculty is world class and the place has an energy that you can't help getting swept up in.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
