Has anyone tested the mail tester? Some users on Clearadmit said it is starting to work

Just use firstinitial and last name @mba2021.hbs.edu for John Smith, it would be [email protected]

So do you just send an email to your possible email id and see if it bounces back?

My guess you could use something like https://email-checker.net/ (I am sure many more and better tools than this one that looks a bit too full of ads)
This trick was used a few years ago and I thought they have put a clamp on that one... the year should be diff though and not 2021 ;-)

Funny enough, the email tester confirmed that [email protected] is a valid email address.
This did not work for the other years, so the tester works - the question is whether adcom has made the same mistake they made in 2020. I kind of doubt it...

I suspect this only worked in 2020/21 and adcom probably figured it out and have found a workaround to prevent people from using this trick.

Hi All! I am planning to apply for Round 2.
My GMAT scores are not great (680) but I have another attempt in two weeks. I am not sure if I should apply in R2 this year, or R1 next year.
I am an Indian Male IT
NIT graduate
Total 5.5 years of work experience
work+internships in 5 different countries
Identify as LGBT
Considerable community service
First gen college grad

Should I apply in R2 this year or wait for next year?

Try for R2, no harm in trying!!

you’d only end up having better chances in R1 next year even if you’re rejected now. And you will know what improvements you need to make

they don’t give feedback so how would you know what improvements?
