Thank you for pointing out. Yes they are from last year. It seems ASU has released deadlines but no essay topics. I have removed the old essay topics and will update the post when topics are available. Meanwhile, if anyone is interested in becoming ASU threadmaster, please let me know. I don't think I will be very active in this forum, so it'd be better if any current applicant manage this discussion. Good luck to everyone!

I'm pretty sure the 2016 intake is going to be the 1st batch of students with the free MBA.

Regarding the essay questions, I was told by the woman doing the admission process that they would be up on September 1st.

These are tricky to say the least.
Guys any help on Essay prompt No. 1?

Now where does the prompts mention Why ASU? Do we have to slip response to it somehow? or is it safe to answer prompts without mentioning ASU at all?

Does any body know that is it a mandatory requirement to provide official hard copy undergrad transcript?

I have email them my official soft copy transcript, but AO replied that they need hard copy. It is really tough for me to get an official hard copy since I am not in my undergrad country. Why the school do not accept an official soft copy as most MBA school do?

From what I understand, it has to be hard copy (in a sealed envelope with signature of registrar across the seal).

Having just submitted during the R1 deadline I can assure you that official transcripts must be sent directly to them. Also in order for your application to be considered complete all pieces need to be in before the deadline. LOR's I think there is some wiggle room but it's better to just have everything in. Hope that helps.

What's priority consideration? I notice no other schools have such deadline mentioned.
Is it Round 2 (with change in name :P) ?

I'm not sure if they have a different time line for domestic and international applicants; but I can confirm that some invitations to interview have been sent out.
