The effort to organize the online fair is very much appreciated. But, the way prize winners are selected, Gmatclub approach is flawed. At least prizes could be spread across all the participants for the same session.


Thank you for the feedback.
Are you referring to the prizes being independent? Meaning you should only be able to win one and not multiple?

Yes bb, I see the random selection of winners seems 'not random'. I understand multiple prizes can be won per session, at least the prizes could have spread across all participants so many of us can be winners. Few people who wins also seems to win multiple time across all sessions :) It's kind of waste if they win the same prize again especially, Forum Quiz & GMAT club test, maybe that's how it was intended to be kept :)

Ah I see.

It is logical for the UCR session.
In this case, UCR provided 200 app fee waivers and there was enough for everyone since 144 people applied for the lucky draw.
So everyone who won Tests and Quiz automatically (so to speak) also won the App Fee Waiver since you had 200 chances out of 144. It would actually be impossible not to win :dazed :lol:

FYI - we have the latest addition to the list of application fee waiver opportunities - tomorrow at 9 AM PST, CUHK will be joining us and offering 10 App Fee Waivers.
This opportunity has been added to the table above and the schedule :cool:

I did click 'Enter to Win' button bb. I got something like "You are #XX out of a total of YY Participants". After I checked the page, it displayed the list of winners. Unfortunately, I don't have a screen capture.

During the UCR Session?
I see 140 other folks who did and ended up winning a fee waiver and I still have 60 left so I am happy to include you on that list but I do not see entering. Is it possible you entered during another (non-UCR session?) I checked Cambridge and Emory and I did not see your name on the list of those sessions either... Here is a test one - perhaps you can test and try to enter this one: https://gmatclub.com/forum/mba-spotlight-374277.html

We can see if you get into the system :cool:

I think we will be providing waivers to everyone who attended the zoom session so that should catch you.

Hi, as advised by BB, highlighting that there has been no confirmation (In PMs or otherwise) around the Simon waiver, which I had won during the fair, or next steps. Please help.

Hi. Simon has just sent out waiver information. Probably about an hour ago. If you do not see it, Please check your spam and junk 😎👍
