Re: Harvard 2013 (HBS) - Calling All Applicants [#permalink]
Trivial question, but what did you guys put for your company's "main office line" and website in the employment section? Did you use a specific employment verification number (assuming that is how your company verifies employment) or just your personal office number and the company's general home page? Wharton's app specifically asks for the verification hotline number plus gives space for a code to access it. Almost finished!

Re: Harvard 2013 (HBS) - Calling All Applicants [#permalink]
Anyone else having trouble pasting text into the text boxes within the application? All of the text boxes for short responses (e.g. "How does pursuing an MBA support your choices above?") don't allow me to paste data in. I've tried Chrome and IE on multiple computer and no luck. This would be really annoying if I had to retype my whole response by hand.

The character count includes blank spaces. If you are trying to copy in more than the allowed characters, it doesnt do anything. I was fighting with that, too.

On a different trivial question, for our unoffical transcripts do they seriously want us to print, scan, then save as a pdf, after inserting the image into a word doc?? Seems awfully roundabout....

No, it's not that. I can't paste ANYTHING into the box. Even a single character. Is this only me?

For the transcripts I just scanned them directly to PDF, that was it.

For people w/ issues pasting. I had trouble with that too, and even sometimes my employment data wouldn't save.

I tried all browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Safari) and I found IE worked for me.

Wow. How is everyone feeling? Less than 24 hours before I plan to hit submit. Giving everything another pass tomorrow, from start to finish as a whole package. Have to make sure I didn’t miss a common theme or have an orphaned thought eating up precious word count that was left over from a previous essay revision (found one of those bastards yesterday...)

Forced to wait anyways…a recommender asked if he could do one more revision before he submits because he didnt like how one answer sounds, so I gave him till tonight…gulp. Killing me here!

I found that it worked with Firefox on Mac OS X, but not Chrome on Mac OS X, or Chrome and IE on Windows 7. I'm shocked by how bad the applyourself applications are. Considering re-writing my "Tell us about something you did well" question about the time I conquered their poorly programmed online application...

haha, we conquered the GMAT only to be thwarted by the application system! Maybe this is really just another test...

Submitted as well. I have one more recommender that has yet to send the LOR yet. I sent a nicely worded email this morning, but by the evening, might have to give a call if he doesn't submit.

Good luck to all. After reading about the decrease trend in bschool apps, this year may be a bit easier?

Hi everyone, good luck to you all!

I'm a current student and I remember how difficult the wait is after you submit your application. The gmatclub chat was a great way to pass the time and share my anxiety with my fellow applicants. I'll try to read this thread from time to time, but if you ever want to talk, you'll almost always find me in the chat room.

Good luck all. Hopefully, for many of you, I'll get the opportunity to convince you to buy a Harbus Interview Guide in a few weeks. :) We'll be updating it this week with the rest of the Harbus staff.

Oh and like smartperson, I'll try to be around if I can be of any help.
