Hi guys! Do you think the numbers (1,2,...,25) on the 25 things essay count as words as well?

Your essay word count after excluding these numbers should be less than 750 words. You don't have to count these numbers in the word count.

Reappicant here, no idea how many get through but as a reapplicant applying in EA shows your commitment and genuine interest.
Even interviewing in the open interview period (August ) dedicated to reapplicants could be a good sign.

Good luck on you application.

Thanks QuabityAssurance. I applying in Round 1. Does it hurt my chances given I didn’t utilize the EA or Open Interview Slots

Does the resume for the day time mba HAVE to be only one page? I know it is mentioned as only one page in the application but I am finding it hard to squeeze all the content in the limited space :/

I have a doubt about GMAT Score reporting, I had taken online exam and got desired score before that I attempted GMAT couple of times. I have sent online score to Fuqua from mba.com last week but while reviewing my application it shows up as self reported score, will it be a concern, should I connect with someone from adcom before submitting application?

it takes some time to reflect in your application. Any which way, you don’t need to send an official report at this stage of your application. When you will get admitted, that’s when they will ask you to send your official scores.

do whatever editing you want to do. Just keep in mind that the line spacing has to be 1.5

Is the 1.5 line spacing applicable to the Resume too? That doesn’t seem to be specifically mentioned.

no no. 1.5 only for the essays. In the resume, there is more flexibility. But use that one page in a smart way. For instance, you can reduce the spacing between the bullet and that bullet’s content.
