You have a great story to tell given your work history–and your chances will be a function of how well you tell that story. Your GMAT score is pretty borderline for London Business School where a 700+ would be more in keeping with the school’s admission standards.

You have a great story to tell given your work history–and your chances will be a function of how well you tell that story.

Even so, if you are a great storyteller–and our brief description here tells me you are–then you have a very good shot of admission at LBS. But do not take it for granted. You need to pull out all the stops. Attend LBS admission events and get to know one or two of the admission officials there. Visit the campus and meet with current students. Make sure your recommenders are doing the best they can to advance your candidacy and build on the story you tell. Sure, you also could take the GMAT again (I know that is awful but it could make a difference.). My odds assume that you will hit submit on a well executed application and you do the necessary relationship building that makes you a known quantity to the LBS admissions team.
