Hi friends,

Being a b school applicant myself in recent times, I understand that how tedious is the b school application procedure and how much brainstorming is needed to make that informed decision.

So as your just another source of information for SBS - Oxford, I will be happy to field questions from all of you. Feel free to ask anything under the sun about the school/program, I will try to answer it.
