Hi Eric, Just wanted to thank you and your site for this tremendous opportunity in aiding prospective MBA students. With regards to elgibility, it states that you must have finished college or are in the last year. Do we just state the amount of work experience as a line item, or are you looking more for detailed information like a resume? Thank you. Bernard

We're open to format, as long as the essays are included in the body of an e-mail. 12 point Times Roman is fine. _________________ Eric Founder of Beat The GMAT http://www.facebook.com/beatthegmat http://www.twitter.com/beatthegmat http://www.twitter.com/ericbahn

Hello Eric, Thanks for reply. I am not able to trim down my first essay further.It comes around 504 words with single space Times New Roman. Will it be rejected for 4 extra words? Rest of the essays are perfectly within the word limit. Please let me know Thanks _________________ Karan Learn more about me

I also submitted my application, but I am not sure if my email went through since my internet went down. My application was submitted at about 3 p.m. EST (which is about 3 p.m. PST). Can any one confirm the receipt of my application? Much appreciated and thanks! Looking forward to the results!

Hello Eric, I had accidentally not mentioned my Beat The Gmat username when I submitted my application so I re-submitted it with the username. I hope that won't pose a problem?
