Has anyone accepted their offer yet? I'm thinking about accepting it but I don't want them to run my card for the initial deposit until February after my bonus comes through Posted from my mobile device

I haven't, I'm still waiting to hear back from one school. Is there any benefit to submitting the deposit well in-advance of the deadline?

None that I know of. In my case, one of my recommenders may be going out of the country and hard to get a hold of in February. So I at least wanted to get the credential verification out of the way while he is still here. Posted from my mobile device

Hello everyone and congratulations to all those admitted! I'm applying for R2 and was curious when I read that the scholarships were on your admission letters, did you apply for scholarships before admissions?

I am applying for round 2 and I was filling my application when I noticed that for short essays there is a text box limited to 1500 characters which turned out to be less than 250 words that I have in my short essays. Did anybody else have the same problem?

Is that 1500 with spaces or without?

Does anyone know if its ok to apply for round 2 deadline (Jan 02) if one of my recommenders cant send his letter by that time. He will be back from holidays on Jan 06 and will send it that day. Also, how long does it take to send my GMAT and TOELF scores? If I send them to the university on Jan 02 but my test dates are previous will it be ok?

right Since probably there is no way to have 250 words in the short answer, I had to cut my essays to approximately 214 words

double-check the application instructions on Tepper web-site. I think it says that recommender must submit his recommendation within one week, so I presume he can send it on 6 Jan Anyway, double-check
