So I think I saw in another thread (Chinese applicants) that someone in LBS strategy received an interview invite on 16th December.

By S&E you mean Strategy and Entrepreneurship? It yes, then I know a friend who applied to the same and still received no news. It's definitely per department, so your no news could still mean good news

Awesome! Used the channel ID and joined

I'm going for OB in Insead, LBS, Columbia, Toronto; also A&M in Harvard. All my schools required a GRE. Without full disclosure of my complete identity, i'm Southeast Asian, my Engineering undergrad GPA was 3.6+, i have a MBA from a global top-20 school, GRE of 325+ and AWA perfect score. My GRE quant was meh, but I did well in my Engineering undergrad so maybe that helped offset. One 1st author publication but in Engineering, not business. I come with about a decade of work experience across oil and gas, strategy consulting, and agriculture. Will also keep y'all posted if more updates come!

Where are you based? Im in Southeast Asia so perhaps it's expensive + impractical to have me there (UK visa takes a long time for my country). Maybe those based around the UK EU region might still be on site. Just a hypothesis though :)

In case you're applying to the same school, the interview invite for LBS OB program was sent out last night! Fully online via Zoom for mid-January.

I'm also applying for the Fall 2024 PhD cycle to 6 universities (US / Europe), applying to a mix of Macro-OB and Accounting programs If anyone's making a Discord, would love to join!
