Want to know the Secret ? Apply Early
Applying to business school is a lot like playing chess, but instead of one opponent, you're up against everyone else. Remember, in a top-tier program like LBS, the acceptance rate is around 10%: ten students fighting for one seat. To win you need to take into account what others are doing and adjust accordingly.
We often suggest to our students they apply to LSE, Bocconi, and Imperial first. Why? Because we want to dodge the crowd of top-tier applicants—the ones with 715+ GMAT scores and a couple of bulge bracket bank internships under their belts.
If you’re sticking to European schools, top profiles will prioritise sending their first choices to HEC, LBS, and ESSEC first & will send LSE, Bocconi, and Imperial as backups. So, adjust your approach and do the opposite: apply to the rolling basis schools as soon as you secure a solid GMAT/GRE score.
Want to make sure your application tactics are spot on ?
To celebrate our launch, we're offering an early bird discount.
The first 100 students can enroll for £650 instead of £799 with the code MASTERCLASS.
PS: be sure to grab your spot before the price increases.
