I took my GMAT exam on 10/26/16. Got 700 but my GPA is 2.0. I am not sure about my chances. I selected the school in my GMAT school selection. Do I need to do anything else or just wait for their response?

2. Do I have to submit video essays and written essay together or I can submit these on different days.?

3. Do I have to wear formal clothes while submitting "Written essay " or this is offline?

I can shed some info regarding this , recently only i completed the video interview.

I hope you received a email regarding video interview.

using that link register yourself and practice few times with practice questions.

Once you feel confident , wear formal shirts and take the interview.

There a 4 qs, 3 video and 1 written, combine all it will not take more than 15 minutes maximum 30 minutes if you have low speed internet

I strongly advice take it in a single shot.

Qs are frequently asked only so need to worry.

For written you have 5 minutes time to write your response so it will not be a problem.

All the best
