What are your post-MBA career goals? Share with us your first-choice career plan and your alternate plan.

Please share with us “25 Random Things” about you. The Admissions Committee wants to get to know YOU – beyond the professional and academic achievements listed in your resume and transcript. Share with us important life experiences, your hobbies, achievements, fun facts, or anything that helps us understand what makes you who you are. Your list will be limited to 2 pages (750 words maximum). Please present your response in list form, numbered 1 to 25. Some points may be brief, while others may be longer. Essay 2 Describe the community that has been most meaningful to you. What is the most valuable thing you have gained from being a part of this community and what is the most important thing you have contributed to this community? (500 words) Essay 3 If you feel there are circumstances of which the admissions committee should be aware, please explain them here (e.g. unexplained gaps in work, choice of recommenders, inconsistent or questionable academic performance). Note that you should NOT upload additional essays nor additional recommendations in this area. The Optional Information section is intended to provide the admissions committee with insight into your circumstances only.

I created a new account and when I tried to access the link it said that it is only for Waitlisted applicants Maybe there is a difference between creating a new account and those of us who have gone through the whole process

per R1 decisions come out on the stated day, not before. so i'd expect the same for R2

Can confirm that the interviewer and admissions officer said the same thing Clown show process

Sorry for confusion everybody. My bad making u feel all anxious. Good night! Tepper is badly managed. How come . Spare some tra Tea

I know right. Feels like contacting them is sending emails or phone calls through a black box Whatever happens wishing everyone good luck!

the reason why is because you never applied to the school with your other account. the link the other user sent was a waitlist form

Wait I am confused...so that waitlist form link, if we can access it, then it means we have been waitlisted? Or it is just a general form that even "accepted" applicants (although we wont officially know until tomorrow) are able to view as well? Can someone please clear up my confusion? Because right now, I take it that I have been waitlisted in R2 since I can access that form.

When you open that link, what do you see? I have this message: https://gmatclub.com/forum/download/file.php?id=88008 GMAT-Club-Forum-trv51bx3.png

I called the school and they said that decisions haven’t been released. I don’t know what else to tell you. Playing mind games on yourself versus listening to what the school is telling you is helping you how? I could access waitlist forms for other schools prior to admission and I didn’t get waitlisted
