Round 1 anyone?

Are the essay questions out yet?

Not that I know of.. Nope!

Hi guys,
I'm applying R1. If I remember correctly, the essay Qs will be available mid-July.

The new Johnson application is online and I could see two essays - 1) Life Story - Table of Content, 2) What is the job that you would like to have immediately upon graduating with your MBA?

All essay questions are visible here: https://blog.clearadmit.com/2014/07/corn ... 2014-2015/

It looks like every essay has an 800 character limit. Yikes! That's, like, a paragraph.

Hey everybody,
We've got the ball rolling for this year with the deadlines.

Just an update : The blog: https://blog.clearadmit.com/2014/07/corn ... 2014-2015/ lists the essays limit as 800 characters.

Its actually not that less!!

The essays prompts actually allow a 1,000 characters .

Very unique and challenging set of essays with heavy emphasis on collegiate and post-collegiate involvement. What say??

My guess is that they're focusing on community (if we matriculate)--trying to see what each of us brings to the table/what makes each of us tick.

A great interview of a Johnson grad moving into a career in consulting.

Is the Toefl waived off for indian candidates who had their UG degree in English??

Good luck everyone. Hard to believe it has been a year since I was in your shoes.

I just finished my second drafts. These essays were actually kind of fun to write. (Well, as fun as essay writing can be).

Does anyone know what the questions asked of recommenders are? Here's hoping they are following other schools this year with the common questions...

I googled and found this. I'm assuming that this is for 2014-2015.

The maximum allowed length for the essay questions has changed again.

The prompts for collegiate and post-collegiate activities as well as the optional essay now allow 2,000 characters instead of the 1,000 characters limit mentioned above.

Are you kidding?? I already wrote my essays. They should not have released the questions (and had them up for a month) until they were sure of the length.

Ace, thanks for the heads up.
