I have a friend whose 'Application Status' shows "Your official GMAT score report is needed immediately". Mine doesn't.

Can someone else confirm whether it shows up for them? Perhaps this is an early indication of a pending phone call?

Long-time lurker here.

An observation:

Prob safe to say that a decent cross-section of the ppl in these chatrooms are prob representative of the average future b-school student and, by extension, the business "leaders of the future," whatever that means.

What I find funny is the pervasive hysteria and gross speculation that is attached to something like a GMAT verification email 5 days or so before the DDAY.

There must have been 10 pages of people freaking out over that!

I mean, let's assume some of those people get into b-school and go on to lead XYZ major corporation or whatever.

I'm not saying freaking out over an email is indicative of one's ability to lead anything, but perhaps more a perverse symptom of our information-saturated culture.

If we're so prone to hysterical reactionism now, what happens when, in the future, we're faced with a real crises (i.e. a 30-ft tsunami triggering a potential nuclear holocaust), where our ability to inspire calm and focus on that which we can control really matters?

I'm not deriding this forum as reactionary hysterics or saying I'm above the fray, I'm just wondering if this is how we react to a stupid email how confident does that make me in our abilities to lead during an actual crises with real uncertainty (which you would think actually matters in business)?

I think how people react based on individual things (i.e. going to business school) is different than how people react when they are responsible for others (i.e. leading a company).

I'm sure Jeff Immelt and Jamie Dimon were anxious before they got admitted to HBS.

Have you watched the stock market in the last 3 years? :-P. The skepticism, over-analysis, and insecurity has been groomed by those of a similar mold, throughout many generations.

As an aside, I participated in the conversation because I love watching the social dynamics/trend analysis. :-).

Most of us are early in our careers....it is the incidents like this that make us able to react better in the future. We learn from our mistakes. I don't think anyone graduated from college and just got it. Most leaders have made a ton of mistakes and learned from them - they didn't dwell on them.

cassius66 - interesting point-of-view,

I think there's a big difference between talking and acting - most of us were casually discussing a possible trend, but I don't think anyone was acting on it. I'm sure we would handle a real crisis in a different manner.

You are forgetting that this is a community of people who are behind a relative vail of anonymity and who rely on each-other's support to go through a challenging experience. Some of the people here analyze for fun - it shows intelligence. And in previous cases (aka the Wharton 4 box issue) those analyses proved true. A couple of years ago, Kellogg sent a batch of false admit e-mails to all people they were rejecting. This community is more a reflection of how open communication and collaboration allows people to catch trends or just vent and develop connections (and keep Adcoms honest). Similar principles apply to stock market speculation. It resembles more of what you should expect in Business School during interview season, than what happens during a disaster.

No email, but I did get a transmission from the AllSpark--ya know, that big cube thing from Transformers--that requested I retrieve for you a sugarcookie from Queens.

Did no one else get the AllSpark transmission??
