I am 100% sure of this answer. You must have your official scores sent to Kellogg before your application is considered complete. Because there can be a delay in pairing applications with official scores, Kellogg offers the opportunity for candidates to streamline the process by attaching a copy of their official scores to their applications. This last part is optional, and seems to cause a lot of confusion, but has nothing to do with whether or not Kellogg needs official scores.

This post is 100% wrong. I have edited it to avoid further freaking people out, since you guys are somewhat out of control :lol:

Respectfully, sir or madame, you are incorrect. I am not trying to freak people out at all, but If Kellogg, BEFORE extending an acceptance, asks applicants to submit official scores, how can you say that Kellogg does not require official scores? monkbent: Kellogg did not ask for an OFFICIAL score. It asked for a SCAN/PDF. THESE ARE DIFFERENT THINGS. An official score is sent directly from GMAC and costs $$I never said that the AdCom does not review applications with self reported scores, but the AdCom will not extend an invitation until it receives official scores. This is false because of the confusion noted earlier. This is different than Columbia, for example, which extends invitations based on self reported scores and then verifies them. Call the AdCom yourself and ask if official scores are required. I did. The AdCom responded in the affirmative. Of course they're required. Just as official transcripts are required. However, you don't have to submit OFFICIAL ones until after you are admitted. They will make an admission based on scans/pdfs

Kellogg asked the applicant to submit a scan. That's not official. Official = sent directly from GMAC. You only have to do that once admitted (along with transcripts).

Minimum necessary = self-reported scores in online form
May need to add = pdf/scan of score report (admissions will ask for this).
Once admitted = ask (and pay) GMAC to send official score if you did not do this when you took the GMAT.

I think you are confusing a scan/pdf with an official copy. With all due respect, your information as written in your post is wrong, and I kindly ask you to stop posting it. The heart rate's of your fellow applicants can't take it...

Thanks for the clarification. I think we are all confusing scan/pdf with official report. But, from what you are saying a self-reported score is needed for a complete application and then, Adcom will ask for an official report when they want to extend an acceptance?

They may ask for a SCAN or PDF pre-acceptance.

Once you are admitted, you have to submit OFFICIAL (aka direct from GMAC) GMAT scores if you have not already done so.

The situation is identical for transcripts. The ones you submitted are sufficient for the decision, but after being admitted, your university will have to send official transcripts.

to current students: is math review required, is it something you elect to do, or is it something you're assigned if the adcom thinks you need more math before school?

thanks

Oh Boy. Another day without admit/ding note. I should perhaps put my candidacy result up for bets. Will make it interesting, and even if Kellogg dings me (increasingly likely), I will have enough money to get drunk.

Everyone should chill a bit with the methodology specualtion. I was out Saturday night with a friend who was a Kellogg student reader last year. The way this works is that everyone has a cubby with your app in it. When the student readers feel like it over this three week window they will randomly select apps and start to go through them. They then pass them on to the official adcom and decisions are made. GMAT, WE, interview timing, etc. have nothing to do with it. It is random.

Did you friend say how many calls they make for acceptances and dings per day?
