If you come from a country that has no access to PayPal, then we will make an exception for you and compensate you through other means.

Otherwise, people who come from countries who have access to PayPal must have an account.

Thanks,

Eric

Sorry but I have another question about proving my income.
I can get a paper like that from my work but it will be in arabic so is it important or I can ignore it?
thanks for your effort and time

Eric,

I have submitted my application for the scholarship, but i suddenly have a doubt. I have attached a casual photo of me. Do you require a formal photo and do you have restrictions for the size.. I am worried as i'm not at all dressed up in the photo, just a casual photo.

Thanks

Hi,

Could you please clarify whether it is 11:59 pm PST May 8th 2009 or 11:59 am PST May 8th 2009.

Apologies in advance that I'm unfamiliar with the PST timing system.

Many thanks,

Haiping Very Happy

Sure thing. The deadline is 11:59 PM PST on May 8, or another way to say this is one minute before May 9.

Hope that helps!

Eric,
Quick question: What about the "bio" portion?
What all details do you need there?
Thanks,
Indradeep

Hello Eric,
I have been working for a long time with my essays. However I am not able to get my essays within the word limit.
Example : my first essay is around 550 words.

I understand word limits are very important to provide a level playing field to all the candidates, but can there be a +/-10% trade off??

If I cut short any more from my essay that would certainly mean clamping down the important ideas.

Please Help me. Just one more day to go.

Thanks

Hi Karan:

Unfortunately we are going to be strict about the word count limit. I hope you can shave down your essay even more--a good habit to get into now, since some business schools are not forgiving about going over word count either.

Thanks,

Eric

Hi Eric,
just small question
Do you want all essays and information in the same word document or you want separate document for each part.
(i.e. every essay in different document or all of them in one document separated by topic)
thanks,
Ahm
