Looking forward to it though!

Congrats, everyone! Hard to believe that the MMM program starts in just 6 months. Not prepared for that!

That was quick. I plan to do over the holidays. I dont have the information you are looking for but do post here when you do come to know about it. I would say 1-2 months to verify everything in your application.

Will do. Not sure how in depth they go, but I had some slight concerns since I rounded some of my salaries (ie. $95180 became 95k/year). The adcomm I spoke to said it's not a big deal and that isn't something they worry about.

Will be glad when it is all over so the acceptance is really "official".

A quick question. How many copies of the transcripts does Re Vera need for their verification? Nowhere it is talking about the # of copies of such transcripts.

Don't think it says, but I sent them a paper copy and an electronic copy through my school.
I also sent an additional paper copy to Kellogg directly.

But the instructions clearly state that no transcripts should be sent directly to Kellogg or else you will end up repeating the process. Completed my verification form right now.

Hey jwang27
Could you please elaborate your experience with the procedure (including the details asked) for the benefit of others? Also, was it initiated before or after the fee deposit?
Thanks!

Thanks!

Let me chime in. You are give the link to contact re Vera services when you log into the admitted students welcome site or via the decision link on your application portal. Once you are on re Vera's page, you are shown that the process of filling out the form for release of information has 4 steps.

1. Your personal information
2. Online sign the consent form
3. Final pay
4. Confirmation

I filled out this form and paid the fees without paying my tuition deposit yet.

Hope this helps.

Yeah it's kinda weird, because if you go through the checklist on the Kellogg Website itself, it has the background check process, but under academics, it also asks you to send a copy of the transcript to Kellogg. Wondering if you interpret it the same way.

I was about to write about this. Yes, in the "to do" list Kellogg does mention that transcripts need to be sent to Kellogg MBA admissions. I have sent an email to Kellogg Admissions. I will report back when I get an answer from them.
