There are no right or wrong answers. Be authentic and tell us what we won’t learn about you in the rest of your application. Imagine that you meet up with a member of the admission committee at an airport while on a layover. You have an opportunity to make a memorable impression. Use this essay to introduce yourself. Include any information that you believe is important for the committee member to know about you, both professionally and personally. Only one essay is required. Requirements: 300-350 words maximum, 12-point font, double-spaced OPTIONAL ESSAY There also is an optional essay for additional information about your candidacy that you may wish to share with the admissions committee. Use this essay to convey important information that you may not have otherwise been able to convey. This may include unexplained resume gaps, context for recommender selection, etc. If you are a re-applicant, explain how your candidacy has strengthened since your last application. Let's start the discussion and get into Tepper this year.

It was the best 2 years of my life at Tepper and I can help with Tepper queries.

Something questions I will ignore:
1) My Profile is ---- , will I get in?
2) What is my chances of getting in?
3) How does Tepper compare with XYZ school?

All the best for Tepper R2.

Hi - is it necessarily required to provide the recommender's corporate email address when adding them to the online application?

I noticed the point about gmail/hot mail addresses being subject to additional review but what happens if I use my recommender's personal gmail address? Will they not receive the email?

I'm asking because my recommender may not be able to use his corporate email for this purpose.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Hi - I noticed the point in the online portal when going to add a recommender that gmail/hotmail addresses may be subject to additional review. What happens if I use my recommender's personal gmail address? Will they not receive the email from Tepper or cause a delay?

I'm asking because my recommender may not be able to use his corporate email for this purpose.

Any thoughts on if this a hard requirement?

Thanks
