Hi Everyone. Just to get a general sense: when are people planning to be back to London (if you have left), and subsequently, in the office? Has the situation changed your views on the city or do you still believe it will remain as attractive as before?

Been back in the office for 3mo, haven’t really had an issue with it despite being initially apprehensive. Much prefer working from the office.

Biggest concern was public transport but I cycle in half the time now. I must say, I think the tube is way better than pre-pandemic - people leave at least a 1 seat space between each other and (mostly, but is getting worse...) wear a mask.

I’ve been of the opinion that there will be a increasing shift to remote working anyways, and I think the crisis has just helped that speed up. Would have thought that the City will seem less attractive now that it’s proven that most people can do their jobs just fine from home.

How necessary is an extracurricular for MBA apps?

Would it be really bad if I had nothing in that section on my app beyond college extracurriculars? Or should I force some activity? I have enough time before I apply to make it look legit to adcoms.
