me and a friend are running this. It is free and no one will be moderating it. kind of a dry run. kind of an opportunity for you to make as many silly mistakes as you can, so that you are ready for the D day
will the experience be as good as that with a paid consultant? perhaps not!
Is it better to vocalize one’s responses with others than spend 30mins watching netflix? yes, i guess
This is a great initiative, but just some advice from R1, when we had a similar informal setup for mock TBDs. It might be easier to just have a public google sheet with some proposed times and have people fill in their names under the times that suit them. If a time doesn’t suit them, then they are free to make a new time and group and as others join in and see the times, they can sign up. You then don’t have to schedule things as the organizer, you delegate that to the others seeking to get involved.
Additionally, people don’t have to share their emails, they just put their name down for a slot, an organizer sets up a hangouts or zoom link, and then they jump on when the time comes. Asking for emails might be prohibitive for some.
And maybe you might want to make it less official looking. Someone who isn’t on GMAT club but gets forwarded the link might assume that it is Wharton-affiliated and that they are at an advantage by joining, but then panic if they aren’t given a time. That Wharton logo carries a lot of weight
If you do end up doing a spreadsheet approach, then I’m happy to moderate some sessions depending on the timing to help potential future classmates haha.[/quote] Agreed. The public Google sheet was very helpful and efficient
Yeah agreed. The public Google sheet where enyone can edit, see other people’s availablity and add their info was so helpful and efficient in Round 1
