Hello and welcome to the "B-School Knowledge Vault". This is an area where the moderators will be scouring the GMATClub threads from this year and years back to bring you the most useful discussion links. In our eventual transition to getting all the info into wikis (which may take awhile), we will have this area populated with links to past discussions about Applications, Essays, Financial Aid, Interviews, Dress Code, you name it. Inside, you can find a compilation of links leading to good discussions in the past and present regarding almost every aspect of the application process. I know many of you are done with the process for 2008, but this should be very useful for those of you still applying, interviewing, wondering what to do now that you're admitted/WL/dinged, etc...

This is a *team* effort by all the GMATClubbers, so please take a look and help out if you can. I will continuously add links to these areas, so check back after a week or two and you may find new information! Hopefully I'll be done populating it by the end of this spring, with all of your help! :)

The rules are simple, and here's how you can help:

1. If you spot a good discussion that is not already included, please post a reply in the appropriate thread with the Thread Title and the Link. this way the mods can go and look at it for inclusion. (Kudos for good suggestions)

2. Feel free to comment or suggest things in the threads. The posts that are not directly contributing to the link collections will be deleted after a week or so, to reduce clutter.

3. If you have any suggested topics we do not have in here, post a reply here and I will add it for you.

Anything else? If not, enjoy and happy "hunting"! :)

kryzak -- It may be a good idea for us to links to good posts from BW as well. You can make the decision here.

thanks. I had some doubts, but I now see how valuable a dedicated forum can be. :)

Praet, good idea, but I'll probably look into that option when I'm done with GMATClub links or if I stumble upon a good one on BW (I only read a couple threads there, as most are a bit... suspect :P).

I'm glad you think the vault is a good idea now. :wink: Thanks for setting it up and supporting our ideas!
