Hello everyone! At this stage I need help from alumni or recent admits: i have written my essays over 6 times and followed applicant lab advice, however I keep second guessing myself. I would be happy if anyone can help with critiquing my essay

Hi guys, the 650 and 400 limits are not requirements right? I can go less than 650 for the first one and more than 400 for the 2nd one, yeah? as long as I don’t exceed the total of 1050?

But also don’t go too over or under the limits recommended.

Not more than 20-30 words.

Hello everyone! I was wondering if I need to add the title of the essay to the document that I will upload to my application?

Hello! Does anyone know if we need to add the essay prompt to the file?

Hi, does anyone know what happens when you unsubmit an application? Do you have to start from scratch? And do you have to pay the application fee again?
