Added by Walker: As an entrepreneur I can say that it's very difficult for a start-up actually to start: Nobody knows you and you have no idea whether your brilliant product will be next google or just waste of time. When one of the founder approached me at Booth, I decided why not to help them to find the answer. So, guys, they offer free accounts for GMAT Club's members - try it and post here your feedback: what you like and what you would improve.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear GMAT Club community,
We are excited to introduce to you
Apply in the Sky,
the first online workspace that helps you streamline, organize and manage your MBA applications across schools. As part of our introduction, we’d like to open this thread as a way to answer your questions, hear your thoughts, and find ways to make our product even better.
As a special offer,
we'll be offering premium Apply in the Sky accounts to a select number GMAT Club users free of charge (a $75 value). See instructions below on how to redeem your free account.
As current and former business school applicants (including one full-time MBA at Booth, one 2010 Fuqua MBA grad, and a third who is applying this season), Apply in the Sky is a very personal endeavor for us, backed by our sincere desire to address pain points that we personally encountered in the admissions process. Please help us by providing us with your honest feedback (both good and bad) in order to build this into the best possible tool for MBA applicants.
Why should I use Apply in the Sky? Apply in the Sky’s tools help you save time, get organized and stay on track of your business school applications. In a process where self-organization typically involves scattered word documents, spreadsheets, calendar items, emails and to-do lists, Apply in the Sky provides applicants with one user-friendly online dashboard, pre-populated with specific school requirements and all the tools you need to get working and stay on track.
By freeing you from the overwhelming organizational burden, Apply in the Sky enables you to focus on what's truly important: choosing the right programs, crafting your story, and putting together the best applications possible.
Let us clarify that we are not admissions consultants, and we do not purport to know what is best for you individually. But we are familiar with the challenges that applicants face, and we believe our product can help you overcome them.
How can I take advantage of the GMAT Club promotion for a free Apply in the Sky account?Free accounts are available to GMAT Club members who have contributed 50+ forum posts. Everyone else is welcome to register for our 2-week free trial.

3) Email us at
info@applyinthesky.com with "GMAT Club" in the subject line and your Apply in the Sky username in the email body
We'll upgrade the first 40 respondents’ account to premium, free of charge, which will provide full access to the site for the entirety of the application season.
And what about this thread?Through this thread, we really want to keep the conversation open and hear your candid thoughts. Please feel free to ask us any questions about Apply in the Sky or our personal experiences with business school and the application process.
We look forward to hearing from many of you. And in the meantime, best of luck with your admissions process!
