Has anybody responded to the video essay question?
If yes, what are the sample questions?

Here are a few questions from last year (if they hold any relevance in this year's app) https://gmatclub.com/forum/compilation- ... l#p2299676

This year, we hav not seen anything official from Emory for the prompts. I talked to a few Emory students and they were also surprised. There is some advice around the internet but oh well.

I haven’t yet finished that part, but once I do, I’ll surely update here on the forum.

Best,
Ric

Are you applying for Round 1?....I am through with everything but the video essay and trying to find out what could be a few questions

Round 1, yes. But just a little late as the deadlines have played a game with me. Co-incidental deadlines and other stuff.

So I will be scraping through this one. Wish me luck!!

Thanks a lot!!

Hi hopefuls. I am a mechanical engineer with an operations background. Extracurriculars are music and entrepreneurship based. Looking forward to healthy discussions and helping each other out.

Best,
Ric

Fervids77 RicAssassin I completed the video essay a few weeks ago, and I would encourage you not to stress about it. I actually attended an admissions event last month, and the officers emphasized that the questions are very basic and are just trying give a personal touch to your application. Think: "If you could have dinner with any person in history, who would you choose and why?", etc.

Again, I wouldn't stress on these, and if you don't like your response, you can record up to three times (though the question may be different). Imagine my shock when I went in to record my video essay (thinking it was the old prompt) and got hit with a random personality question. Let's just say I did not submit my application with that response...

Good luck to both of you with your applications!

Thanks man!!!!

All the best to you too...
