Will the essay topics be the same next year?

[dkpbus]

Hi Erin,

I'm planning to apply for MBA Cols in 2003 for admission in 2004. Since I've enough time, almost one year, Can I get my Recos from recommenders right now on reco part of 2003 application. I think this part of application doesn't changes. So that I can save time during filling of 2004 application.

Actually right now I'm in India and also work in USA for short term and long term projects from my company. And I'm expected to come there somewhere next year february for long term project.

There are a few Prof. in IIT (Indian Institute of Technology) Who have taught me and can give a good Reco. Although I can contact them when applying for colleges but at that time I'l be having less time. And I don't want to do things in hurry and hence give chances to bungle the job.

So I just wanted to know is it possible ?

The same for Admission essays ? Will 2003 essays be same for 2004.

Recos should be okay (and in fact in some cases it's best to get them early, when the recommenders still remember you); the rest you should wait. Essay topics, while generally consistent, can change any year without warning, so draft at your own risk!
