hi guys! not a seasoned user of gmatclub (very new here), but I was wondering if we have a Facebook group for the class of 2016?

Also are there any admits from Singapore? Would be great to get in touch!

Congrats (and I guess MERRY CHRISTMAS!! :clap: ) to all those who got the call. Sloan is an awesome school and Boston is a happening place to be.

For those who got WAITLISTED :dunnow and still have a sliver of hope alive, here is the link to the waitlist thread:

I am applying for round 2.
I have low grades at my undergraduate and I need to address this somehow.

Please kindly advise what is the best way to do this.

I think that this issue will be off-topic for the two mandatory essays.
In the same time, it will be awkward for the video I am going to make for the optional information.

Did anybody overcome similar problem? How?

This issue and its analogs (low GMAT score, for instance) are usually addressed in "Additional Information" field! Good luck! :)

I did, in the optional information section. From memory, the optional material section was a 1000 character count text field - I pasted in a link to my supplementary material and then wrote a short paragraph addressing low undergrad marks.

Hi everyone.

I have one question regarding the application form.
The online application gives the option to upload essay 1 and 2 but not to upload the optional essay. It just tells to paste the information in the box.
Do you know how to deal with it?
If you want to upload a multimedia file how do you do that?

Thanks a lot!

Hi m1986 you can upload your optional essay to some online service such as dropbox, google drive or youtube and just paste the link in the box

Hello everyone,

one more question.
I could not find any formatting requirements for Sloan essays.
Could you please shed some light on this?
Maybe I missed the specification on the web-site.

Thanks
