I think ppl applying to this school are bright enough to know the difference between a theory and facts. My previous statement isn’t an attempt to spread false information but to logically understand the reasoning behind a previous claim by an int’l student. The board is created for discussion which includes assumptions based on the information at the moment. Take a chill pill dude.
First, I’m a woman, not everyone posting here is male. Second, I’ve been a user here for several years now and I have seen many times where comments like yours are taken as fact especially when they are stated as fact (I.e. they are vs maybe they are/just a theory but..) which is unproductive and unhelpful. No one is challenging the intelligence of people applying to these programs but bschool applications are an extremely stressful and anxious time so not everyone is thinking clearly and over analysis leading to incorrect assumptions is common.
If you’re going to post an assumption or theory please clearly state that and not post your assumptions as fact.
Posted from my mobile deviceThe term “dude” can be said to anyone doesn’t have to be a guy but now you would be making an assumption yourself. Again, I stand by my original statement: ppl here are smart enough to know the difference between an assumption and fact. Please take a chill pill and relax.
Look you said something that I know for a fact is wrong because I am a student here and I know first hand what is going on. If you are going to post your assumptions you should expect for people to respond to them. You can continue to believe what you like but I think it’s important for other people here to know that you are incorrect. I’m not sure what’s controversial about that, why that requires me to “chill out” or why you are so defensive?
You’re statement was incorrect. Simple as that.[/quote]
The fact that you can seem to fathom why you need to chill out honestly shows me you have more growing up to do and you have this need to try to prove you're right without regard to context or perspective. Honestly, you don't sound like you go to NW right now because you should have been taught to look at the broader picture. I will say this again, I believe people at this school are smart enough to know this difference between assumption and fact. I'm sorry I don't believe lesser of the ppl applying here as you do.[/quote]
As I’ve stated multiple times I really don’t care if you personally believe me or not. I do care if someone else reads statements here and gets incorrect information resulting in someone not applying when they otherwise would have. Never have I said anything to imply that people posting here are “lesser”. In fact you can feel free to read through my gmatclub record if you’d like and you’ll find I’ve actually dedicated quite a bit of time in helping several applicants directly via this forum including taking phone calls, mock interviews, reading essays etc. I have no need for your approval.
Good luck in your applications.[/quote]
It’s great you helped others. However, noble intentions do not really change the fact that you accused me of spreading false info when that was never my intention rather it was logical reasoning of a previous comment made by an int'l student based on the information currently available at the time. I’d like to think people can discuss things freely on this board but when a discussion becomes an accusation of misinformation I take that seriously especially when accused of it. It’s fine you have no need of my approval because I share the sentiment with regards to yours. However, your assumption that my statement would preclude an individual from
applying to NW because he/she lacked the logical reasoning to distinguish assumptions from facts. It’s that assumption I disagree with given the ppl applying to NW as that assumption doesn’t prevent potential or current applicants from thinking rationally as it’s that kind of thinking that brought them to NW in the first place. Also, there’s the option of someone contacting the Adcom for confirmation if there are any reservations in the about the current application process as it’s rational for people to be skeptical of the information coming from an individual on an internet board, regardless of his/her post history. If you scroll through past messages in this very forum you can see examples of ppl doing so. Lastly, how you deliver a message is just as important as the information contained in that message - you’ll learn that in time. Good luck to you as well with your applications.[/quote]
yes, there will be people who might think that the info (whether it might be an assumption/opinion) available here is construed as true. and they may lose out by not applying to a great school.
I believe its not reasonable to post opinions/assumptions about the adcoms until its verified from the source.
coz there are lot of aspirants looking at these forums, what's going on..
few doesn't contact the adcoms, and rely on the forums, it happens.
ur intent may not be to misguide, but it happens. so its fair to post sensibly.
