Hi Eric,

A friend of mine mailed me asking "is a 300 word essay strictly a 300 word essay? or I can add some more to compensate for 'a','is','of's etc?"

What do i tell him? Very Happy

Eric - do the references have to be "Professional" (aka supervisor and another individivual who can evaluate your work experience)??? or can it be from anyone who can speak about you personallY?

One Question: Why are names of references asked?

beatthegmat · Posted: Mon May 07, 2007 10:39 am Post subject:

We are asking for references to assist us in the cases where we need to verify the authenticity of an applicant's story. Not that anyone in this community would ever lie on an application! Smile

Eric,

Check your email....I'm done too!!!!!!!!!! It sucks that I discovered these forums and the scholarship on the Internet only last week, but it's really encouraged me to learn more about Beat the GMAT!

Best of luck to everyone who's applying to the 2007 Beat the GMAT Scholarship. The initiative is really awesome...

Nisha

So I Knew I was going to be pushing the deadline. What I didnt count for was the fact that my own brain would terrorise me Crying or Very sad

Imagine dreaming that the deadline is approaching and you still havent submitted the application. You are frantically trying to make the e-mail but everything is moving in slow motion. Except for the clock! Of course I missed the deadline Sad

Thank God it was only a dream Smile

Completely diff story that i very nearly missed the deadline even when wide awake Laughing

Eric, I know I mentioned earlier that stress kills/shortens life and that i wld come back to haunt you but Man this is just as good a reason to come haunt you Razz
