Hi,

Can someone please help. In the employment section of the online application form it says list your current position first then all the previous positions you have held. If I had multiple positions with the same employer and titles changed because I got promoted does that mean I have to list down those adding the same employer multiple times?

Hi Diya52

They've asked only about the ending position and ending compensation so I don't think you have to list each level held with the same employer.

I guess you can submit it as part of the English Language fluency requirement.

Tbh, I didn't need to upload a letter separately since its mentioned in my transcript. I think it can be uploaded with the transcript as blowice27 mentioned

For resume, tepper is asking 12 pt font. Isn't that large compared to what other schools are expecting?
For others I was using 10 or 11 and my resume was 1 page. But with 12, it is becoming a 2 page resume. Is it okay to have a 2 page resume with only 4 years of experience?

Yeah create a pdf with the letter on the second page and submit it. If they require anything else they will contact you.

I completed my Chart Your Path on 29th September. I submitted my application today but I was getting the prompt for payment. I mailed the adcoms about this issue by since Today and Tomorrow are weekends I don't think they will reply to my mail. Can anybody please tell me that do I need to make the payment also by 4th Oct?

I also faced the same issue. I didn't get the waiver even though I was eligible, I paid the fees for now.

I did once, just to confirm but not of much help and the deadline is today (Sunday) I submitted on Saturday, so would have been of no help so left with no choice.

Hi Everyone,

I am also facing the same issue as a few others with the application fee waiver. And since today is the deadline as well as a weekend not sure if I will hear back from them on mails that I have already sent them regarding this fee waiver issue. In any case, if I did get a mail with the application submitted for round 1 but payment status awaiting, will my application get directly sent to round 2 consideration or I will get a chance to resolve this issue and still be considered for round 1?

Thanks,
Saurabh Bose

Just to be safe, I would advise you to submit the application in Round 1 by paying the application fee. Then, you can reach out to the adcom about the fee waiver. If everything on your part was correct, they can refund you the fee. I would suggest not to take a risk since you may end up in Round 2 just because of the fee waiver issue

What do others think?

Hi everyone!

Good luck with your application. I'd submitted my Tepper application within the round 1 deadline. Although, it still says that my application is waiting to be verified. How long does it take for this to happen? Also, how long does it take to hear back from adcom?

How many days did it take for you to get this email after submitting your application? That might give thomanator a better idea on how long he/she have to wait
