Anyhow speaking of my empathy or sympathy, out of all the people whining about the ORM (Overrepresented pool) issue, I’m the only one who actually decided to create an organization around it and sacrifice my life over it.


It may seem very brave to belittle me by making your recommendations, but, actions speak louder than words. ✌🏼


Anyhow, I’m grateful to the research of GMATClub and the YouTube videos for it. I used them as a point of reference to make valid points to render any opposition mute. I still have them saved so I use them everytime I get in a meeting with any of the people who run the business education. Helps make my case.

I’ll be closing this chat now, got a lot of other things to do!


Enjoy your time at UVA

mine still does. I doubt it will change until the official announcement next week.

Yikes...sorry about that. It's been over two weeks since the HBS deadline... do you have a backup who could write you one in place of the old recommender just in case? Otherwise it looks like you may have to get your old recommender to write yours or it more than likely will be a ding.

Looks like you're going to have to pull a hail mary with your original recommender.

This kind of situation is why you really don’t want to be sending links to people until you have some talking points if not drafts prepared for them to review. I’ve seen this happen many times unfortunately where they might feel like it’s too much work or this round I actually had a client who had an ex boss who initially seemed supportive (also, curious about an mba for himself) but after reading the clients recs, was sort of jealous and said he was going to submit everything on his own and my client couldn’t read it. Thank God my client had not sent the link to this jerk and had a current supervisor happy to submit for him and could speak/had witnessed the same stories that we worked so very hard on.

Does anyone have any news or update? Have the invites started rolling out in your circles?

Interested in knowing about Asian candidates...also, do elaborate on the submission day.

I submitted a few hours before R2 deadline so want to see the status of similar applicants too

If you don't receive an interview invite by mid-March it's basically a soft rejection
