Hello! I have a question regarding GMAT Classic and new GMAT Focus edition. If I take GMAT Classic test end of this year and would like to apply for Yale or any other B school for executive MBA after 2 years on the basis of GMAT classic score, would it be acceptable for the academic year after 2 years? Or shall I plan for GMAT Focus? Thank you!

For Yale, the GMAT, either the old or new version, lasts for 5 years; so you could go with either one because Yale said it accepts both versions. I'm not 100% sure about other schools though.

Yale doesn't mention that specifically on its website. However, based on data from the last cycle, the interview was put out on a rolling basis. And all R1 admission decisions will be released on the Judgement Day haha.

Just completed my video essays. Good luck to those who haven’t done it yet.

1. Why do you want to pursue your MBA now?
2. Tell us about a time when you worked on a project that had vague instructions and what did you do?
3. New Haven has several drama theaters, art museums etc, what is significant to you among art, theater and music and why?

Does anybody know by what time the LoRs are due on 18th September? It isnt mentioned anywhere. The video essays did mention 18th Sep 5pm so can we assume its the same for the LoRs?
