Hi guys,
There are multiple whatsapp groups connected to the same forum on GMAT club for fuqua - so polls, pins etc wont necessarily reflect everywhere. Additionally, essential questions that candidates may have may get missed out during such activities.
It would be best to kindly limit the forum to share information, ask questions, seek clarifications etc for everyone’s interest. Thanks for understanding!

Hi, just wanted to respectfully express here.

This group is not an “official channel” but it’s a peer-led, informal space where everyone should feel comfortable sharing their thoughts, engaging in polls, asking repeat questions, or just checking in on each other.
We’re all navigating a stressful, high-stakes process, and these small interactions be it a pinned poll or a friendly discussion help build morale and make us feel less alone.

Of course, if someone needs concrete answers or formal information, the school website or direct outreach to admissions is always there. But let’s not limit this space. This is not a rule-bound forum , it’s a circle of applicants trying to lift each other up. Let’s keep it inclusive, supportive, and anti robot 🤖 Ai like.

And honestly if you think this group is too “chatty,” take a scroll through the others. All other groups are dead silent, with barely any engagement. At least this one feels human, active, and alive. That’s something worth holding onto.

Let’s not police energy in a group that’s built to carry each other forward. Inclusivity means embracing all kinds of participation : not just questions with official value.

And people hesitate to directly post queries/ questions unless there's an ongoing discussion. As long as the interactions are respectful and add value, it’s always great to have some engagement here.

I have been dropping texts in other school groups
No one responds irrespective

Isn’t it better to have some response than to have none??

Absolutely loving your energy! And this should continue, but pls do balance- there are multiple groups linked to a single school's forum, which will make it confusing for others

Yes, and people will respond, but you are more likely to receive a response related to admissions specific details by mailing the school first.

And that is a great strategy to start initiating a conversation with the school

If the info’s already clear to you, not sure why you’re circling back to me. Let’s focus on helping each other out instead of playing you-me knit pick✌️☺️.

If you need some assistance with fuqua specific IDs (general + adcom) you can let me know.

There is no disagreement regarding mailing the school for details. But networking and asking people is also how most people collect information. At the end it's up to an individual to get it verified. There's no harm in sharing knowledge and helping others out. If you have information worth sharing here, please go ahead.

The idea is to ensure information shared is accurate as many won't verify something they read here.

Appreciate it, but I think we can all agree that stressing each other out over one comment doesn’t help anyone. Let’s keep the focus on supporting one another.😇

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I agree that the primary purpose of this forum should always remain to share information, ask questions, and support each other with application related queries.

But these kind of activities spark up further conversation! The idea behind the daily themes is simply to add a small dose of interaction (like quick polls or fun 1-liners) to keep the energy up during this stressful process, without overshadowing important discussions. These are supposed to remain minimal and not clutter the group.

If everyone feels strongly about keeping things purely informational, I’m happy to adapt and maybe limit these activities to once in a while instead of daily. What do you all think would strike the right balance?

Thank you for responding positively to the themed activities suggestion!

Here’s what we’ll try:

• *Milestone Monday*: Celebrate small (or big!) wins and share what you’re proud of. This way we can encourage and support each other!

• *Would You Rather Wednesday*: Fun, quick polls to spark conversations.

• *Fun Friday*: Polls, memes, fun questions because we all deserve a laugh.


Apart from these, feel free to ask questions or drop tips and suggestions!
