Per your suggestions, we've added two new fields to the forum user profile - Schools and Concentration.
We hope they will enable members to connect with each other and even help them meet their future classmates early.

Both of these fields together with GMAT Score field can be prominently displayed next to your forum handle.
There are a number of options for you to engage: You can use Schools field to share with us where you are applying to or to indicate your status with each, for example: Tuck (applied), UCLA (accepted), Stern (ding)
Use Concentration field to indicate your interests, such as Finance, Marketing, or Technology. Finally if you are comfortable sharing your GMAT score, we'd love to hear about it.

We are working to implement other improvements - please let us know if there is any forum or site features we should include in our roadmap.


Best Regards,
GMATCLUB

The new features are really nice.

Any chance you can implement the option to color code your schools? On a side note, what color do people normally use for waitlist?

Schools: HBS, Wharton, Stanford, Compton Community College

Color coding available [#permalink] New post   15 Dec 2008, 10:31

Now you can color code the school names in your "Schools" profile field.

We suggest that everyone use the same colors from Kryzak's post. In order to color code the school names in your profile field, you have to use the same BB color code as in the forum posts. Let's say you've been Accepted to HBS and Columbia, got a Ding from CCC, chosen HBS for Matriculation; Booth got you Waitlisted. You'll have to put the following code to your "Schools" profile field under the UCP:
Code:
[color=blue]HBS[/color], [color=green]HBS, Columbia[/color], Booth, [color=red]CCC[/color]

As a result, this code will render a colored text in you "Schools" profile field visible to others:

Nice




Wait, I might have found a bug. When I entered the school, if my GMAT score field is blank, 0 shows up.
