Guys,

My application status, which was shown as complete earlier, now shows as 'Incomplete' with comments from interviewer as 'TOEFL Waiver Denied'. I have completed my undergraduate degree from a institute where primary mode of instruction was English and also, I have been working in Singapore for last two years so that qualifies for waiver on the basis of work experience as well. What do you guys suggest, I should do?


Did you specifically ask for a toefl waiver and does your diploma state that the method of instruction was english? You have to request a toefl waiver, it is not granted automatically.


Hi 20MBA15,

In application section of Test Scores, one can select whether they qualify for TOEFL Waiver. If yes, we can select qualifying criteria as 'Education', 'Work Experience' or 'Both'. I had selected both but even then was denied waiver. Have dropped a mail to them with university URL to confirm and grant waiver.


I'm confused about my status as well now. I'm not British but I did my undergraduate from the UK but its more than 5 years old. Honestly this is a joke. None of the schools have asked me for TOEFL because I did a four years degree in England, the birth place of English. I shouldn't have to prove my English language skills. This is ridiculous.

Guyz another question. Might sound a bit silly, but as I am going through the final round of review of my application just wanted to be sure. I have created a web page for TOC question. There is a box to submit text if one has made a normal table of contents and there is an option to upload if someone has gone for ppt or pdf format. So in my case I need to provide the url of my webpage. So should I mention the url in the text box? as there is no other option given for putting up the url. Any suggestions?


Hello!

The questions says: "...Alternative submission formats may include a slide presentation, links to pre-existing media (personal website, digital portfolio, YouTube etc.), as well as visually enhanced written submissions."

Knowing that you can only insert text or upload a file and after reading that question, I'd be confident if I were to write a link in the text box.

I'd say it's highly likely that they'll check it out! :)

Are we able to see a PDF preview of our entire application before we hit submit?

Hi,

I couldn't find a PDF preview of the application throughout the whole process.

Certainly something I missed before clicking on submit...

Can someone tell me once you click the submit button, what are the next steps?
Also any glitches faced with submission so far?

Thanks

You can review your application on the same website, but are not able to make any changes. It's not a pdf or a summarized version, it's exactly the same application website but editing is disabled.

Yesterday's application status: submitted
Today's application status: under review

Now I can only wait and hope they find my profile interesting enough to invite me to interview! :)

BTW, my submission was flawless. Hope someone else joins in and comments on theirs!

Guys, if any of you have questions about your TOEFL requirements, I would suggest that you contact the admissions office and ask for clarification on your particular application. I'm sure they'd be more than happy to look into it.

Also, keep in mind, no application system is flawless. If you think there is an error or glitch, contact the office and I'm sure they'll work through it with you.

:gl everyone! Deadline tomorrow!

Did anyone get a note from Johnsons admission today regarding the deadline being October 1 and providing a main point of contact for any questions as one navigates through this process?
