Hi Rohit & Narenn, I think these essay topics are good to go as they haven't been changing the topics. It was the same last year, and the year before.

Hi Elixir, could you send me a PM with a little more detailed information including your extra-curriculars, interests, experiences.etc? That'll help me guide you. But please remember that I am just a MBA Year One guy now and my say may not be accurate. Considering your GMAT, you have a chance to be considered to the first cut, but the rest of details will decide if you move ahead. Thank you.

Regards,
Vijay G
