Thank you guys, I have used Fire Fox and Google Chrome but both didn't work, only Internet Explorer works for me! Can't believe it is Internet Explorer, I only use it for downloading Firefox and Chrome Cheers guys!

Submitted my video essays! In for R2. Good luck everyone!

Kind of bombed the video essays Anyone know how much it weighs in the decision?

Don't worry. I bet you're making it seem much worse in your head than it was in actuality. Plus, remember that many people are probably very nervous during these things (I mean who had done anything exactly like this before???). So rest assured that if the rest of your application is strong you will find yourself getting an interview. Where there any particularly difficult questions they asked that threw you off? What were your questions? Best of luck! Posted from my mobile device

Thanks for the encouraging words. For me, it wasn't the questions but the short time to gather your thoughts. My reply to the first question was bad but got the hang of it for the other 2. I would advice others to practice using their system multiple times before doing the real deal. agreement on a policy, ideal leader, teamwork example

silly question but is there a dress code for videos? (e.g. suit and tie for guys?) I was just going to wear a dress shirt but figured I might as well ask.

Sitting in my living room in a suit and tie seemed like it would feel weird, so I went with a sweater. The other option was a silk robe with an ascot and a pipe. The sweater narrowly won.

In for R2! Good luck with everyone who is also applying! One question: for the video questions, where I can practice with the actual interface that SOM use? I think the most important thing is getting used to the 1 minute time frame and the interface. Thanks a lot!
