LBS Round 2 Statistics

What up! Sorry I haven't been posting in such a long time, but the internet cafes in South America ain't the fastest (most share a dial up connection!) and I actually didn't have much to share. I'm sure nobody gives a crap about my travel experiences so I will spare you guys and get straight to the LBS round 2 stats. Unfortunately, I have to say that getting the yield is not as clean as in round 1, mainly because of the people who were lucky and got off the waitlist - I have a feeling that there are quite a lot of them. Anyways, if we assume that all admits since R1 are R2 admits (which is of course not true), then the yield for R2 would be roughly 75% - too high I think since it was more around 60% for R2 in the past years.

So basically, this entry is quite useless, cause the data is wrong :-) but I tried! One more note, if you go by the class size of last year (about 330) then roughly 90% of the class would be filled at the moment, leaving 10% remaining for R3 and R4. Of course, this will change as the June 20 deadline approaches, when much currency has to be paid to LBS as a deposit to secure your spot. We can expect that several admits who paid the first smaller deposit will have chosen another b-school by then and then more spots will be open again.

Last but not least, I do have to rub it in and show you some nice pix I took on the Galapagos Islands this week (buy an underwater housing for your camera if you happen to go!). I went to Ecuador after spending two months in Brazil. Enjoy!
