SarangNampoothiri Hi Sarang,
Glad to see you helping out the prospective students here. I am also applying for next Fall. I have a query.
I wish to apply before Nov'15 deadline. But I will not be able to provide my TOEFL score before that deadline. I have booked a date for TOEFL and will surely get my score by November end. Kindly guide whether I can still apply before the Nov'15 deadline and update the score afterwards? Or can I get a TOEFL waiver?
I have mailed one of the adcoms regarding this. Haven't got their reply yet. What's your take regarding this? Because I would like to apply for fellowship and if TOEFL is mandatorily required before Nov'15, then I need not rush with my essays and LORs.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
