Hey all.

I just got my official scores. Got a 5.5 in AWA.

Does anyone know how long does it actually take for the schools to receive the official results? Does the 20-days rule reflect the truth or does it generally take less time than that? If you have experience in applying to European Business schools, I would be glad to know how long should I wait in case of a positive response.

Thanks to all for your help.

Regards,
Goreg

Congrats! and sorry to hear about your dad. I have to say I am impressed by your acomplishment. I think under the conditions you pulled it off, your score is better then some 700s.

Hello to everyone.
As a follow up to this thread, and as promised, I am writing to tell you that I was admitted in the Bocconi MBA. I am not going to apply to another institute as this is probably the best university I can afford and a vital step in my dream to relocate to Italy.
I wish once more to thank everyone on this wonderful site, the inspiration I got from the people here was of decisive importance. I also want to say that i will seek to be an ambassador of the programme which I think deserves to be represented as one of the best in Europe.
I wish Health, Peace and Prosperity for everyone. Grazie!

moving story.. [#permalink] New post   08 Oct 2007, 20:36
Goreg, I suggest you to take print out of this page and attach it with your application forms.

In Indian culture, we believe that when someone takes birth in our house and at the same time someone passes away, it means rebirth has taken place. What I mean, your father is there with you, he took rebirth as a kid of your brother.

ur story is really moving..

wish you good luck for your MBA career.
