Ok, starting a thread for each of the schools I'm applying to (hope that's ok) and didn't find one for this year (Fall 2008) yet. Who else is applying? I'm going for R1. I live right next to the school, so I'll be visiting quite a bit, talking to student clubs (already went to their excellent infosession), hopefully meeting some adcom people, etc. If anyone is visiting in the area, let me know (post here or PM me), maybe we can meet up and discuss!

0.6' margin - 2330 words What is the standard margin to be used?

I don't know, but I reduced my word count so that I used 0.7" margins and 1.85 spacing.

I intend to cut my word count for 1" margins and 2 spacing.

How much width of the page are you guys using? I am using 7 inches of width

so 0.7" on each side, 8.5 - 1.4 = 7.1 inches of the width.

0.75 top 0.5 bottom 0.65 either sides Double spaced ~ 2700 words

Submitted!!! Kinda nervous, but kinda relieved... spent probably 10 hours in the past two days reading and re-reading the darn application, and finding bad word choices here and there. Finally had to just tell myself to submit. Ok, let's keep track of the submits. Don't forget to log your candidacy here! https://www.gmatclub.com/forum/t53748 Here's the STRICT format to follow: Stanford GSB Applicants Status: grad_mba - R1 - Submitted Kryzak - R1 - Submitted

There are only 145 characters for Education gap explanation. How about writing "please refer addtional information essay' in this space and then actually explaning the gap in the additional essay??
