    Congrats to everyone admitted!

    How do they inform you of their decision? Via Portico? E-mail?

    Why would anyone want to go to UCL for management?
    Is it even competitive?
    There are so many top mba programmes.

    You need work experience for an MBA. They also tend to be more expensive.
    For the 2011/12 class, only c. 5% of applicants were given an offer. So its fairly competitive.

    Did they communicate over mail ? Or over the portal ?

    I need to accept offer from CASS by April 10. I mailed to the id given in the Portico asking for a tentative date and i got a reply that probably towards the end of April.

    Is it a generic reply calculating six weeks ?

    Any idea of how long they will take to send a decision .

    Can i mail them stating my situation and asking them to provide me a quick reply ?

    I applied on 3rd feb, got the interview call on 15th, was down with fever so gave the interview on 25th, got the offer on 9th.
    so basically, it takes just 4 weeks, i wasted around 10 days by not giving the interview on time.

    I just received an unconditional offer! My whole process took 6 weeks. It probably would've been 5 if I did my interview right away. I'm holding off my decision until I hear back from Imperial (I have my interview with them in a couple of weeks).

    Hey friends got an interview call.

    Is it an interview for every one who apply or they do some filtering before they send an interview call ?

    And any tips for the interview ?

    1. why this MSc programme, and how the skills that this MSc will give you help realize your career goals
    2. career ambition, specially name some employers and talk about the jobs
    3. internships, how did you get this job, how was the selection process, what did you learn from this
    4. how do you think the dividend policy of Apple, any advantages?
    5. how will you spend the money of Apple?

    for your reference,
    I just got rejection by UCL, but received interview invitation from IC.

    Hope I can get a place from IC.

    BTW, anyone interviewed the ESB programme at IC?

    Hi everyone.

    I graduated in the summer of 2011 and have recently applied for the MSc Management course and was wondering whether everyone who applies receives an interview. Also, do UCL stop giving offers at a certain date because I feel as though I have submitted my application rather late.

    Any replies would be appreciated.
