Pls Advise

Hi Stacy,
I'd love your advice on my current situation.

Last year I was on this forum a lot!

I got interviews with three of the four that I applied to, and received offers too!! Clearly I was excited.

The irony however is that the school I really loved, I didnt get into.

Situation changed, I decided to defer my admission by a year for many personal reasons but I still feel like trying again.

In addition, I have a higher designation at work (promotion) and am also involved in some other activities. I state these as these will be my 'updates' since the last application.

So should I reapply?
- Any other thoughts, advice on the information shared above will be most appreciated.

Thank you.

Dear wongee,

In my opinion, you should start the program at Cambridge as you planned. You made a commitment to Cambridge and if you love the program as you said, then it seems to be a good fit. Of course, you can apply to LBS again if you wish, but be sure to address the concerns they had previously. If you do not know why you were rejected, it would be worth contacting the admissions office for feedback.

Regards,
Lisa
