Hey everyone! Quick question

Is it okay to take the GMAT on Oct 1st? Will the scorecard come before the Round 2 deadline (Oct 9), or does the test center allow me to download a test taker copy that I can use for the application?

I know unofficial scores are available immediately, but wondering if that’s sufficient for the application or if I need to wait for the official scorecard (which takes 3-5 business days).

Anyone has experience with last-minute GMAT scores for IIM B applications?

GMAT can be given on both 1st or 6th Oct. Ideally, you need to have a break up of final GMAT score ready which is displayed on your MBA dot com portal up to 48hours after your attempt.

However, you also need to be considerate of other aspects of application (LOR/SOP/etc.) and whether the slot will be available for exam.

Does that mean I can download the unofficial score report from the portal and submit the application before the deadline?

It doesn’t look like disadvantage

And average 7 has come from averaging experience of 5 years with 9 years...

So stay positive

Hi guys.

I haven’t started the application yet for R2. Just wanted to know can I go ahead and send my scores to IIMB without initiating any application as it appears on MBA.com that I can send it for free until the next two days.

which domain is your work-ex?

global EPC, Energy, Metal & Mining. Sustainability Business Units, worked with top global pvt firms and currently officer at Maharatna PSU.

well, there could be few red flags in my story - GENERAL ENGINEER MALE, Conventional Engineering Background.
Due to market scenarios, most recuitment nowadays are concentrated to IT, Automation & AI domains, even consulting is concentrated to IT domains. so the colleges may be insecure to choose favorable candidates for recruiters. Anyways, I'm already done with my IIM C interview, IIM A interview on 3rd Oct and possibly ISB as well lined up for October.

dips2, Generally, the placement is not the concern while admitting a candidate. Infact, colleges like diverse profiles and people with niche work. So, it may be just that in the limited available seats, they may have better choice of similar profile with a higher score or something else. Or not, we never know.
Overall with 695 GMAT and current work in PSU, you will most definitely get into one of the colleges that you mentioned, so really there may be NO RED FLAGS. Best of luck for your remaining interviews!

don’t write responses of LOR questions much longer than 300 words if you are drafting them for your recommender.

Recommenders prefer to cut it short...
