I am from Fresno, California, and look forward to connecting.

Hey folks,

I haven't started my applications yet and I'm focusing on Round 2, I'm waiting to take the GMAT in November. I did attend a virtual info session last week and found it pretty informative about what McCombs offers.

I will be applying Round 1. I have a question about essay formatting. Right now I have a double-spaced PDF in times new roman (12 PT) with no header. Should I include a header? If so, what information should I include? Also, are there any must-haves in the name of the file (i.e. my last name)?

Thanks, and good luck everyone!

Hi Guys,
I am also applying in R1. I echo with saury2k and would like to know details about this year. Also, I want to know about the essay:
We will learn a lot about your professional background through your resume and letter of recommendation. We want to get to know you further. Please introduce yourself using an essay of 250 words, OR a video introduction of one minute.

are you guys going for the written essay or video introduction and is there a hidden preference from the school's side?

Don't quote me on this because I'm not a member of the admission committee, but I don't think the school has a preference, so I would pick the one with which you think you can make the best impression. I went for the written essay because I think my writing skills are better than my video-editing skills.

I would be cautious about simply sitting in front of a camera and giving a "boring" introduction; however, if you are talented at video-editing, then you might consider that approach instead. For example, do you like riding motorcycles and skydiving? Do you volunteer at a local food bank? Edit some of that footage into your video to give them a sense of who you are.

Good luck!

Hi Guys

I am an Indian applicant and have a letter from college stating that the medium of instruction was English. The McCombs website says that TOEFL can be waived in such situation. Can anybody give a confirmation on this from this forum? Thanks

Would uploading an official GRE score report be sufficient
