I can only imagine how busy you must be right now trying to finish your applications for Round 1. Your anxiety shows up in the number of emails we're getting and so I thought I'd answer some of the common questions:
Essay Length
When we say the number of pages for the essays must not exceed 7 pages total we mean 7 pages of text. In other words, if you took the continuous text for all your essays, it should not cover more than 7 pages.
In the example shown below, you can see that it would be ok to submit 8 pages, because if you took out the blank half pages you'd end up with a total of 7 pages of text.

Interviews
Many of you are concerned about when the interviews are scheduled and whether or not we will be able to reach you. Interviews are by invitation only and we will try very hard to connect with you. That's also the reason why we ask you to select an email address that you can check from just about anywhere, even while traveling.
Everything you ever wanted to know about interviews is listed on this page http://www.gsb.stanford.edu/mba/admission/interviews.html
GMAT
Your application will not get reviewed if you haven't taken the GMAT (or GRE) by the deadline date of the round in which you apply. Your scores are valid for 5 years and must be valid on the deadline date. For Round 1 (22 October 2007) you may take the GMAT as late as 22 October 2007. In your application you would then record the test date as 22 October and self-report your scores (if you don't yet know your scores you would simply enter zeros). The testing agency will forward your scores to us and our operations team will match them up. Should there be any discrepancies, we will contact you directly.
Use the GMAT/GRE calculators if you're still confused http://www.gsb.stanford.edu/mba/admission/test_results_calculator.html
TOEFL Waivers
Here are some examples to illustrate when the TOEFL is or is not required:
Xiaogu from China went to Bejing for his undergraduate degree. Since the language of instruction was Chinese, he is required to take the TOEFL.
Ning from China got her undergraduate degree in London and is not required to take the TOFEL because the language of instruction in London was English.
James from the United Kingdom went to Germany for his undergraduate degree and is required to take the TOEFL (even though he is a native English speaker) because the language of instruction at the university was German.
Suki from Japan received her undergraduate degree from an American college where the language of instruction was English and is therefore not required to take the TOEFL.
Fayza from Pakistan who went to school in Islamabad where the language of instruction at her university was English is not required to take the TOEFL.
The example below illustrates a situation where you may request a waiver of the TOEFL requirement:
Chin from China went to Bejing for her undergraduate degree but then went to London for a graduate degree. Chin may request a waiver of the TOEFL requirement because the language of instruction at the London university where she earned her graduate degree was English.
To request the TOEFL waiver, use the Additional Information section of the application and give a short explanation. You may assume this waiver is approved unless we notify you.
I hope this helps! Don't hesitate to contact us via http://www.gsb.stanford.edu/mba/contact/ if you need additional help. You can also give us a call and talk to one of the admissions counselors at +1 650.723.2766
With my very best wishes! I too applied to grad school once and know what you're going through :-)
