Hi,

I wanted to check with fellow applicants regarding the questions of post employment plans. Can we use bullet points in our answers or do the answers need to be descriptive essay type?

Any advice is welcome!


Mohid.

You need to explain in the given word limit, format is not important, its how clearly you are able to articulate your story is what matters

Thanks for the reply. There is no word limit for those text boxes, so I reckon I’ll go ahead with bullet points.

Do your recommenders also have to submit the LORs to get the KIRA link, or you just have to submit the application?

No, you’ll get the link once you submit your application (just your portion). The LOR don’t impact when you get the link thankfully!

The only guidance I’ll say is to google Oxford video assessment. A lot of websites offer tips, tricks, and general content areas for the first two essays (which we all get asked). I won’t say what the questions are because in my opinion that’s an unfair advantage. That being said, googling and reading various blogs (and doing the practice questions) helped me when it came time to answer the actual questions.

That is a fair point. Thank you for your guidance. One more thing - SBS has asked for the GMAT score report to be uploaded. Did you upload the 3-pager report or just the first page (since the second page mentions the list of schools that you’ve applied to)?

They ask for a list of all schools you’ve applied to in your application so they’ll find out either way. I think either the full report or 1 page is fine either way

I took the online GMAT so the result is just displayed in the portal and I don’t have any pdf version of it. Would you guys know what kind of document should be uploaded in the GMAT score report? Is a screenshot ok?

I read somewhere that you just have to print a PDF of the page where the GMAT score is displayed and upload it, but I haven’t personally taken the online GMAT so just confirm elsewhere
