200 is the new 500
HBS also has 200.

No one is interested to read “once upon a time...”

For those applying to Round-2, here are a few pointers to keep in mind that we found out during Round-1:

1.⁠ ⁠Official Test Scores: You need to submit your official scores only if you get admitted. Self-reporting and uploading an unofficial score report(Screenshots) are good enough for application

2.⁠ ⁠⁠1-inch margins for Resume: This is just a suggestion and you can afford to go against it in interest of content and personal preference to keep it to 1 page.

2.⁠ ⁠⁠Citing the use of AI: Ross suggests mentioning it against the line you used AI for. But if you use AI to enhance the whole essay, just add the citation as mentioned in the portal, as a footer for your essays.

3.⁠ ⁠⁠Grace period for your recommender to submit your essays is 5 days post the round-deadline. Make sure your recommenders submit by then, else your application will be considered in the next round.
Is there any downside to the use of AI and its citation?

i undrstand that all am saying is 200 is lil too low. 250, 300 - understandable. 200 is really low. hence i was wondering is they are lil lenient
All i can say is that you have applied to EU schools in R1

But US schools have really short and crisp essays 🙌

EU schools have 5-7 essays each above 400 words 💀☠️

Absolutely not. Do not join. Send your decline ASAP and make some room for the rest of us. 😇

This is so weird really.

Going to any school at ticket price is pretty risky for internationals
