I received mail from IIMA around 4:00 PM today. Essay topics are really tough.
Is 3rd essay an optional essay?

Hi Everyone, Some of you have reached out to me regarding help on IIM-A essays. I was able to reach out to Abhishek Chawla for some guidance on the essays and he has agreed for a session. Since the deadline is Sep 17th, we are doing this session on short notice.

More details are here https://gmatclub.com/forum/topic334029.html#p2621032

please sign up if you are interested!

Hi All,

Was rejected in PGPX Round 1 - probably due to low GMAT score (580). I wonder about the reject verbiage used. Is below just a standard template for all rejected candidates or is there subtle indication that 'improve score and re-apply'. May be am overthinking :)

"The Admissions Committee assess all applications very carefully, and we regret to inform you that your application just fell short, and you would not be called for an interview in Round 1.
We strongly encourage you to apply for subsequent rounds with due improvements in your profile."

From the decision tracker, I don't see anyone with a score of less than 600 with an interview invite.
