Full ride at McCombs. The term used was "Admissions Recruiting Award". Covers tuition and fees. I did not rank McCombs #1. Adding to the temptation: I did my undergrad there and my family is in Texas. Plot thickens...

Happy holidays to all. Definitely taking advantage of this full day off to put the finishing touches on these essays. Best of luck and well wishes to you and your families. Count your blessings as many of you have already been accepted into rather prestigious institutions. We are all fortunate to even be in the position to apply to these schools.

The answer to this is likely no, but is there any grace period for the membership recommendation? My recommender forgot to add the website as a contact and the link has been in his spam box. Also, does the membership recommender's status get get added to the dashboard like the other two required recommendations? Thanks

Not sure about the first, email them to resend the link asap as it takes 24 hours to process. No, it does not show up on the main dashboard, but you are able to see the status through the VIP page (cgsm.askadmissions.net/vip/)

How's everyone making out R2ers? Final weekend push. Good luck.

Just working on these essays...how about yourself? I definitely started this process too late.

Doing well. Just going through another round of reviewing each essay on a very granular lever. Trying to eliminate any assumptions I may have mistakenly made on the reader's behalf. I think that is my most common mistake although I believe I have caught all such mistakes at this point. I would like to submit Sunday, I do not want to run into any last minute website jam ups. That is my biggest fear, that their server crashes or something. Trying to avoid that at all costs. Good luck I am sure you are built to handle the last minute rush. I am pretty nervous and excited that this part of the process is over.

Good luck to everyone finishing up their apps! I have a quick question - does anyone know if there's a way to check that they've received your GMAT scores? Everything is checked off on the VIP page but it doesn't say anything about the GMAT scores.

I would think going to MBA.com and checking where you scores have been sent should be sufficient. As far as I know they do not send paper scores any longer but instead grant access to digital information. So long as the GMAC has granted them access I don't believe there should be any problems. The MBA.com site tells you what day the Consortium was granted access to your scores.
