Not an expert, but I think # of bullet points can exceed 3-4 depending on the type of work and number of years. As long as it provides valuable input on the candidate’s achievements and aren’t just fluff. Everyone has a different career path and type of role so the templates act more like best practices for the average resume but could and should be customized to what fits the individual

I believe there is no grand rules to how many bullet points per employee If they show impact , achievements and leadership.

It is just important to note that it is boxed into one page. It is really possible for applicant who haven’t work in so many places .

Seconded...
On the flip side, certain candidate also use reducing font size to box everything into a single page and other increase the font sizes to fill one full page. Either strategy is not going to work.
Additionally, someone has an extensive work experience. They may go up to 1.5 pages, but not beyond that.

Oh ! That makes makes so many suddenly optimistic about their odds.

The one thing that is indisputably clear is the STRONG emphasis on applicants having the prudence and the logical sense to prioritize (even among their bullets, and put only so many that can together fit one page). As such, if they are REQUIRED to put their resume pointers in 1 page, and they are not able to, somewhere it reflects on their poor judgement and prioritization.

Additionally, it also reflects on their poor communication skills, and lack of a proper understanding of the broad guidance.
Applicants therefore, who get a full ride with a 3-page resume, are either fictitious, or have made up stories for others who ask them "tips" or, have profile so exceptional that it’s nearly impossible.

I would strongly urge the other applicants to use any such "hearsay" information of 3 page resumes getting full rides with better judgement and prudence, and see if s/he needs to take that risk.

The average GMAT score last year was 730 (Classic), which translates to 675 (Focus).

It would be prudent to aim for 20-30+ points above this if you come from an overrepresented demographic pool.

I did exit the WhatsApp group (was getting too many notifications on WA). As such, now I can access (or respond to) the chats only when I visit the forum.

I hope my being around isn't so disappointing... :upsidedown

Hey Arunava7393
A dm on GC may remain unseen for a long time. Better to connect with me either via https://theivyleagueedge.com/index.php/contactus/ or via my LinkedIn.

Specific guidelines for GMAt waivers differ from school to school, which you will have to check.

But no school waivers GMAT for attending events

Your question should probably be about your likelihood of getting in, rather than if you can apply.
So, answering the likelihood question:
1. It's going to be challenging
2. In order to reduce the challenges, and increase your likelihood, you should try and show your being exceptional at as many data points as possible (including GMAT/GRE)
3. Further, if you have a story that can justify the gap/s, align your career plans well, and most importantly, can convince the AdCom to champion for you, assuming your rest of the profile is strong, you may even look at Top 20 schools.
