I ageree with pelihu, check the older posts and you'll find a ton of information. Actually, it's a bit scary reading how stressed out everyone was... :shock: I guess we have something to look forward to :-D . Harvard has posted their essays, I really like the 2 new topics, "culture shock" and "greatest problem facing the world". Also, GSB was supposed to post them on the 1st, but I haven't checked to see if they are up yet.

Agree with pelihu, go check previous posts and then post a new question if necessary. There's lots of info available.

starting to think about my essays. The key for me is the stanford "What matters to you most, and why?". Brainstorming ideas over the next month or so while I study for the GMAT.
