Welcome to August's Student of the Month. Just recently we received an e-mail from a student of ours who just got accepted to LBS. Marat Vorobiev graduated from a well respected law institute and foreign language institute, where he obtained his degree in Japanese and English. And like many people Marat started working in business, which led him to the decision to get an MBA. After studying with Pericles Marat got a score he was happy with on the GMAT and after filling out his application he received an acceptance letter from LBS. When asked why he chose LBS, Marat listed their dynamic learning environment, LBS' opportunities for students to develop themselves and the diversity of the student body.

Marat is hoping to pay for his education with private loans, his own money and with the British Chevening Scholarship. Upon graduating Marat is planning on returning to Moscow to work in investment banking. Well Marat we wish you good luck and would like to say that LBS is lucky to have a student like you. Congratulations!

Postscriptum: Marat emailed Pericles in February 2003 to tell us that he started London Business School in September 2002, successfully completed his first semester, and is hoping to graduate on schedule in 2004. All the best to you in your studies Marat!
