For those applying to Round-2, here are a few pointers to keep in mind: 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.

I gave my HR’s number as an employer number when filling the application. He just quit today 🥲

They aren’t calling until it’s time for a verification. Maybe prior to the verification let them know and give the current HRs number
