How long did your MBA application go on for? I definitely did not expect my application process to go on for almost a year and a half. It almost makes you want to give up on it altogether or hire someone to keep tabs on the updates. It's been an exhausting journe,y and I'm curious to know if I'm the only one experiencing it this way.

My MBA application process stretched out for about a year as well, so you’re definitely not alone it’s a long and sometimes overwhelming journey! I remember feeling exhausted by all the steps and waiting, but looking back, the persistence was worth it.

What part of the application has been taking the longest?

I have been selected at citi but HR is unable to release offer letter. This is because I have worked for citi as contractor or consultant in past but I don't remember my SP ID or GP ID which Citi provides to its temporary employees. HR is checking my SP ID or GP ID which was allocated to me in the past but I don't recall it is. HR is checking this with US team and this process is taking time. If they cannot extract it due to some reason, will they release my offer letter? Please clarify this.
