Hi,
It is true that LBS does not offer a 12 months or less MBA program. However, you should note that today you can complete your MBA in 15 months instaed of 21 months, including internship (please refer to our website http://www.london.edu for more information about this).
Details about the next information session will be posted as soon as possible.

בתגובה ל: ארכיון 2: ???Any Israeli Applicants #3916<p align=left dir=ltr><Avi, the best thing is to call / email the school and ask them to contact you with an Israeli MIF student (we have this year 3 Israeli students in this program). They will be more than happy to help.
As for scholarships, good place to check in the British Council – Varda Levy, Education Officer. Visit the website at: http://www.britishcouncil.org.il. You will see that LBS MIF student received a scholarship from them this year.
You can say that the working opportunities in finance for the MIF students are similar to the MBA’s, although from your e-mail I understand that you are not coming from finance background and therefore, the MBA’s summer internship is something you should consider, when deciding which program to take.
International / management experience – the school put a lot of emphasize on internationalism. Although professional international experience in a big plus, in many cases, we have other significant international experience such as travels after the army. Managerial experience is of course also important. I must have more info. about you to relate to it.
Volunteer background such as yours is of course a very good thing and will help the school to get a broader view of you. I am not sure I understand what you mean by equal to politics / management?
Feel free to follow up with more Q’s

Hi,
In terms of career path and opportunities, in general, I believe that staying in Europe will benefit you more and will enable you to leverage your MBA studies in a more effective way. This is because of several reasons including higher potential salaries (in Pounds vs. NIS), career opportunities etc.
With that said, a number of Israelis came back after their MBA (from LBS and other schools) to very exciting positions, and I believe it reflect the increasing recognition of international MBA’s in Israel market.
So, what do you take from my answer? There is an added value to both cases. However, I believe an MBA at LBS or at any other leading international school should be viewed not just as the two years studies (or one as the case with our friends in France), but also to include a number of years post the MBA.
All the bestIn reply to dalit from December 10 2003
LBS will consider re-applicant as any other applicant. Meaning a new full application including essays, recommendations etc.
With that said, a re-applicant must consider carefully how to emphasis the changes and progress from his previous application that make him now qualified for LBS. Just as an example:
– Lack of international experience – show how in the past year you gained such experience through working abroad, working a lot with international companies etc
– Lack of leadership experience – again, show a promotion in the last year to a managerial role.
There are of course other examples. Just think what were the weaknesses in the previous application and proved that you successfully faced them!
Good luckIn reply to dalit from November 26 2003
Extracurricular activities – as any other school it is important and provides a more interesting picture of the candidate. With that said, a lot of us have some community background, like “Perach”, which can be used as an example for community work. If you feel it is really week point in your application, you can always start working to improve this as any other element in your application.
Female students – there are 2 in our class and 1 in 2004 class (also 1 in the Phd). So, you will have female companion, do not worry.
Partner – if you are married, so you have no problem, he will get a working visa. As for finding actual job, start looking for it early as possible. There are companies here with offices in Israel. I assume it will not be easy but it is really possible to find here a job with the visa.
Marketing / strategy etc – I do not want to sound like promoting the school to aggressively, but I truly think that its reputation and location make the school a top choice for any subject. Be sure that not all the Israeli are going to finance. A lot are more interesting in business development, strategy, marketing etc.

I understand your financial concern. However, you got the 10K scholarship (as far as I know it is still on) and you got HSBC loan scheme (see at website), which is a very simple process. You can manage a rough budget of around 2,500 per month, for couple W/O children.
All in all, personal savings, HSBC and partner salary (maybe scholarship) make this an accessible opportunity

Hi
First I would like to thank IIMBA for this opportunity. Please try to post your questions in English. Doing so will enable me to forward some questions to admissions personals.
Number of Israeli students – this year we are 9 just in the MBA! (There are other in the MIF and PhDs). I do not have exact data on planned number for next year, but hope it will be similar (we are doing our best to prove that we deserve this number)
Leaving in London – The main expense is the rent cost. In general It vary between 200-300+ per week, depends on children, area etc. The good thing is that your partner will be able to work in London, something that changes the entire picture.
Application – It is difficult to give general answers but (1) try to show strong potential for future success. Do so by explaining your career progress until today and how an MBA will help you further progress. (2) International experience – if you have it is great. Show your ability to work with diverse people. (3) Team player – there is a strong emphasis on teamwork. Find the balance between leadership potential and teamwork. (4) Show that your really interest in the school – I already saw potential students visiting the school. If you are in the area visit the school.
Hope it help, feel free to ask further Q
Good luck
Yaron
