Eric,

My blog url is in my sig.

I had one more question, i dont know if i'm supposed to ask this, but i'll get it out anyway. I wanted to know if the valuation of the essay would weigh Style of writing, grammar and content equally or would one of them be given more importance.

Thanks

Good question. We value CONTENT and do not judge by writing style/grammar. We expect that your responses to be as well crafted as possible, but we also understand that this is an international competition. Writing in a non-native language is tough.

Good luck!

I'm already in touch with Stacey Blackman Consulting and have spoken to the person who would be my admissions consultant but am struggling to raise the funds at the moment - should I mention the fact that I have already found the ideal consultant in my essay or not?

If you think that this point will help your candidacy, then certainly go ahead.

Thanks!
