You are welcome and happy to do so

Here is as it is copied from application form.

Quote:

Please respond fully but concisely to each question. Each essay should contain around 500 words.

At Rotterdam School of Management our mission statement says that, as an institution, we will be a force for positive change in the world. This mission, which is based on the 17 Sustainable Development Goals put forth by the United Nations General Assembly, drives our thinking and approach to education, business and the world around us. The mission also guides our admissions process, as we look for academically excellent candidates who also share our belief that we can all make a difference in the world.

Keeping this thought in mind, please answer ONE of the following questions:

1. Share how you’ve already been a force for positive change in your world. Your example can be large or small, global or local, but must highlight the positive impact you’ve had through your efforts. Tell us your story.

OR

2. Discuss how the RSM MBA will prepare you to become a force for positive change, either in your personal or professional life.

2. Describe how the socio-economic environment in which you live/work impacts your business decisions.
Please explain your answer and use examples from your own experience whenever possible.

3. Describe the most difficult decision you have made and its effect on you.

Hey Guys, a small doubt! Can anyone tell me the average GRE score for RSM? Their website mentions only an average GMAT

I have referred to old docs but nothing about GRE at all. You need to check directly with adcom. If you give them a call, it would be nice and very fast. This is my advice to you.

Hey Guys,

I was applicant for 2019 intake, but my application didn't go through last year. I was trying to apply for the same this year too.

However, when I try to apply again through the online portal, I can see my previous application but I am unable to edit my application or create a new one.

Does someone has any idea regarding where might issue be or guide me through the steps for my this year's application. I also tried reaching Carrie over the mail regarding the same last week but haven't gotten a reply from here yet.

Hi,
In your case you either need new application or submit maybe only new essay about new development the last year. In my experience, contacting the adcom office will give you access to what you need. Those questions are very specific.

Good luck

I am not done with the interview yet. I submitted my application almost a month ago, and I am waiting for an update from the school. I believe the deadline was extended till Apr-08. So just wanted to ask whether anyone has received an interview call.

Big congrats gaur4v90 that's great.

Any chance you recall any of the video interview questions? Brand new process for RSM and I'm trying to get a read on those; please also post an interview debrief. Brainstorm content and sketch out stories for these questions https://ameerkhatri.com/rotterdam-mba-i ... questions/

Strongly recommend you prepare, in part, by listening to the Touch MBA interviews
