It's interesting to realize that right now, some applications are being moved up while others are being rejected.

I am sorry, I didn't mean to sound like a downer.

Haha you sound absolutely fine. It's the acceptance rate that's a downer!

Hey guys, was looking for some insight on my 2+2 application Harvard BS. GMAT: 710, IR 8/8, AWA 6/6 Education: Originally from a developing country, Undergraduate: self-funded through scholarships in the USA at very average university, GPA of 3.5, full scholarship for a MSc Business Programme in the UK at another average university; graduated with distinction. I did get accepted into Duke Fuqua for my MSc in Business but I self-funded my entire studies so I could only go where I got a full scholarship as I had no assistance from family or any financial aids options W.E: Started working when I was 17 at one of the worlds leading airlines as their youngest ever employee. Ad agency internship from undergrad. Another internship in undergrad where I broke all previous records set by any intern and directly advised C-Level execs with great recommendations from directors of a multi-million dollar industry leading firm. Did some strategy consulting work in Italy as part of work experience in my masters. Extra currics: LOADS of these. Studied in 5 different countries within last 6 years with tons of leadership positions at uni and outside and worked with charity organisations. I think most of you would agree that it would be pretty difficult mainly because the universities I went to are very average, however I did excel in many ways at all of them and had tons of leadership positions (uni athletics/head of all students etc.) and did get accepted into much better schools (top 10 US and UK) just could never afford it. Edit: Also started my own start-up, currently speaking with VC's and have VC meetings set up with big names from London tech side. Thank you!

Hello, is anyone else having an issue with the application portal? It says " deadline expired " next to my application and i cant access the form nor can i start a new one! I've written to the tech support team but no reply as yet!

I was uploading my resume to the Yale app when I realized that I'd made a formatting error when I submitted it to HBS - text spilling over to another line unnecessarily. The struggle! Moral: do not voluntarily re-read essays or statements or anything you don't have to... there is literally no upside.

Haha I remember last year (horrible year for me in terms of applications) I had made a serious error in my resume. Instead of Math curriculum, I wrote Marths curriculum. Pretty harmless now that I think about it, but I'd like to think that is the only reason I got dinged :/
