London Business School Research and Essays

I found it most comfortable to work on London Business School essays. May be because I had researched it a lot. My research -
I started with reading about the basic mentioned on the site of why London and what they're looking for.
Faculty -
- Looked at faculty in my area of interest... organization behavior
- Looked up what papers or books they have written and get my hands on some of it
- Helped me see their opinion on some of the important subjects
Curriculum -
- Looked at the program structure
- Individual courses by subject area
- Got into details of some that got me curious
- Electives... did they have what I want to learn
- Projects and other work... I found organization audit to be of interest to me
- Learning Methodology... As a trainer I was very interested in finding this
Community
- Student Community... another important part to me
- Clubs
- Activities and fitness centre
- Parties
- Social events
YouTube
- I looked through formal and informal both
- Promotional videos
- Student uploaded videos... found some videos of tattoo, summer ball and santa walk
Student Blogs
- Both official and unofficial
Forums
- MBA forums like beatthegmat, gmatclub and Indian forum pagalguy
- MBA consulting sites : not much here but did read through adcom and alumni interviews

I have put in effort in researching all the schools I've applied to but have spent more time and effort on London. My essays are done a week before the deadline and should be able to get this out hopefully before time.

A little on approach to Essays -

- It is extremely important to know what you want
- I tried visualizing my life in London and after
- I wrote my essays then took a few hours to research London Business School and then looked at them again with a little more understanding of the school
- I also took breaks for few hours to research a different school and then looked at my essays afresh
- The essays look different everytime and then I kept getting surer
- I'm taking today off and not looking at my London's essays to take a break from them

I'm also hitting another app with deadline clashing with London Business School... more on that later
