Guysssss, I so **** delighted that I have got in. Son of an auto rickshaw driver has got in.

Congratulations! I know it’s hard to get out from certain backgrounds and limitations and I’m hoping you won’t be defined by your parents background for much longer. However, I’m sure they’ll be very proud!

pS. I guess my father was a cab driver as well but I never thought about it in a limiting factor fashion type of a thing I’m sure your dad worked hard to provide for you and clearly he succeeded.

Cab driver is much better than a jerk.

In India, being a cab driver is really demeaning. Coming from the slum background is tough. I didn’t even know the difference between has and gave until I took gmat

Thank You so much

One thing good is that in US, people are much more open and embracing to the diversity in background. I have few friends who parent were plumber, hotel concierge or server that went to top mba and work in top tier roles.

It’s possible whether they give it is different question. Reach out to adcom to request a scholarship reconsideration form

How can we upload the video essay? It just gives a place to attach a link.

­while uploading you have the option to keep the video private.(cannot be found by searching on YouTube.)
As in nobody can view the video except the ones who have the link.

if you are still not comfortable. i have seen people use other options.

Then we can shoot it on our own, upload it to Youtube as a private video and send that link?

Sounds good.
