Chances on Admission to LBS? (Round 1 for 2026/27)
Hey guys, want to know my odds for LBS MFA (R1 2026/27). I’m at a top 10 US uni studying Econ with a 3.5 GPA, 675 GMAT Focus (95th percentile), and spent a year abroad at LSE. During undergrad I worked full time in multiple management roles, picked up two niche finance-related internships (not BB/EB). What would y'all say my odds of LBS MFA are? Thanks for reading
Pretty good. If you look at the reports only like 1% of the class is from north america so they want that representation in the class...be sure to speak to that factor combined with your international experience in your essay.
Thank you for the input. Do you think having no brand-name internships will tank me, though? I read online LBS cares about internships most of all, more than GMAT/undergrad stats. But their website explicitly states that internships aren't a requirement, so I am a bit confused.
Sector>name...so if they are at least tangently related to finance I think you have done enough. Really you need to just sell the why LBS program is going to help you reach your goal of getting XYZ job (and hopefully your internships are a progression towards this).
I'll PM you my letters, and happy to review yours before you submit.
Sorry to jump in but could you PM me your letters as well?
Quite a different profile to OP but looking to apply round 2 this year and need some advice on the essays.
Thanks
