First official ding comes today......spent quite some time in the essays, a bit disappointed that didnt even get an interview...dont know if W will provide feedback or not..

on the same day, I just finished imo the best interview with an LBS MiF alum in Toronto -- an exec from a US IBank.

Contrary to the perception of IBanker, he's not challenging at all. The whole process was nice and easy. He loved golf, and started the conversation with my experience on the the city's junior golf team when I was in China.

After he established some synergy, we talked about everything -- Toronto, London, my goals, world economy and etc. No typical questions like why LBS, why MiF questions.

He also shared with me his weekend activities like cheap tickets to Spain and Italy, that's why he only finished in top 30% of his class...

After he listened to my career goals, he suggested why LBS MiF should be the best fit for me. (I was like....hmmm, our roles got switched?) MIT, Princeton's Mif were too quant and more for traders, and those who wanted to work with derivatives...

He asked me what others schools I applied, I told him this was the only non-mba program I applied and the list of my applied schools...again, he mentioned LBS should be the best fit with my background and goals...he's very passionate about the MiF.

At the end, he told me that he wanted me to get into LBS and that's what he's gonna put in his report.

Hope what he said are all true~~

After the interview, got back to the office and got the ding at the same time....but I dont feel too bad with the great interview...

good luck to all those who received invites or WL from Wharton~~
