Hey can anyone guide me on the essay word limit !!!! Have everyone followed the 250 word limit or gone upto 260-270 ? Till how much is acceptable?

You can contact the Mba admin thru email and explain. In most case they allow untill 280 words

Consider kudos if my post helps!!!

Thanks archit but the admission policy on the AGSM website already says approx 250 words so I do not think its good to email the committee again and ask. I just want a view from the people who have applied in the round 1 to guide.

Today I received the official notification letter on the admission outcome from UNSW, but still I have not received the official offer letter to accept. Hopefully, by this week we should have the official offer letter from UNSW

Hello Everyone,

I am new to GMATClub. Today I received the official notification from AGSM about my admit but the letter is yet to follow.

I am from Bangalore and look forward to connect with people who are going to be the part of the cohort!

Cheers

Hi everybody,

I have got an admit into the class of 2014 January at the AGSM MBA program. I received the official offer letter along with scholarship details about a week back. I want to get connected with other students who got their offers and interested to know how many of you are going to accept. I am still undecided, hoping to apply for a couple of US colleges. I am only a bit skeptic about the career services and post job prospects in Australia. Can anyone throw some light on these topics?

Regards,
Chandu

It will take approx 20 days to hear from them and then 10 days to know final status.

Hi Chandu,
Just wanted to know what all did they mention in your email regarding the scholarship details. In my email they just wrote that they are rolling over my scholarship application to the next round. I wonder why

Hey greywine
Please let me know which OSHC insurer did you opt for while accepting the offer. Is it Medibank? AGSM provides a list of other insurers too other than Medibank. I was wondering which would be the best to opt. Kindly let me know soon as I have to accept the offer and before that the page asks to tick off the OSHC Declaration asking whether I have made any arrangements for OSHC or not..!!

Thanks
Shailaja
