Hi everyone,
I just sent in my application for the HBX CORe program, which I think will be a great way for me to strengthen my MBA applications and prepare for MBA coursework. The final step of this application is a short essay. Before submitting my response, I copied my essay to my clipboard, just in case it would somehow be lost by my browser. Sure enough, when I clicked over to the next page, I found that I had been logged out (perhaps due to the time I spent on the essay?). When I logged back in, the essay was gone. Fortunately for me, I was able to paste it back into the text entry box, and nothing was lost.
I would recommend that you take this precautionary measure as well so that you don't have to do your entire essay over. (You could also write the essay in Word and save it to your computer, which I did for most of my MBA materials.)
