Hey nehs,

Nope - this is a completely separate form. I'm always confused about the year :)

Good afternoon!
I understand, I've got to provide two references to be able to take part in the competition. Can I provide e-mail addresses of the references who are blood relatives? I am going to apply to a business school but I have not officially announced my decision at work yet, so I would rather keep it quiet at this stage.
I am looking forward to your reply.

Hey Libertata,

We understand why some applicants are reluctant to provide references such as their direct supervisors. If your relatives are connected to your job/extracurricular activities in some way, then it is acceptable to provide them as references.

Hello,

The form says I must provide phone numbers of two of my references.
I'd like to know can I give, say, email addresses instead of phone numbers?

Thanks.


Sergio.

Hey Sergio,

If you're sure that your recommenders will reply within the day, then I suppose it's fine to give us email addresses. We're asking for phone nos. just to be able to get in touch with them easily. If however your recommenders don't check their emails too often, we might have a problem!

Thanks for reply DanaJ

I understand that they'll need to check emails at least once a day, just wanted to make sure you'll accept emails as contact info too. I guess I'll just ask them personally and let them choose.


Sergio.

Hi Dana

Thanks for posting this competition!
I was going through the prizes and found that all the prizes are in terms of GMAT course material :(
I have already taken GMAT.
Aren't there any prizes which can help me in applying to schools?
Thanks!
Prachi
