Hi guys - when applying to Questrom - is there a different application for full time MBA and MBA + MS in digital innovation?

Are the requirements the same?

Sent from my iPhone using GMAT Club Forum

Its about what you need from an MBA.

MBA+MS is more on the technical side of it.
Earlier it was MBA+MS is Information systems.
I encourage you to look at the curriculum and choose wisely.

Hey thanks for the tips! Where can I find the curriculum for the MBA + MSDi program? I didn't see it on their site.

I was actually wondering if the requirements are any different or if there are any prerequisites for the MBA + MSDi

The curriculum is in the brochure and the website under the tab degree programs.
The prerequisites are exactly the same.Its just that this program is pretty much on the technical side with courses such as system architecture.

Anyone else had issues when filling out their contact info within the online application where "state/province" is required but you're not using an address that carries a state/province? For example a non-US address.

Or even under the "biographic information tab" where your birth country does not have a state/province...it's not letting me save and continue without entering a state.

Shoot the Adcoms an email.
They are pretty quick to respond to the queries.

Going by the last few years trend -> The deadline might get extended.
Notice the word might.

It may or may not. If I had to put my money on it -> I would say it will be.

Ohh that would be awesome! And and what point did they announce true extension? It would suck if you submit on the 1st and they announce an extension on the 2nd...

Does Questrom have any resume specifications before uploading? Example - font size, page length Etc.

I've seen some schools specify 1-2 pages but others strictly 1 page. What if there's no specification?

IT is not certain that they will. It might be the case that they don't.

But in the previous times they have extended the deadline -> They do it right after the first deadline gets over. I don't think I would be able to get that application for R2 myself.Relying on them to extend the deadline.Hopefully they will do that this time around too.

From what I understand, they accept unofficial scores at application and official is required if you choose to enroll.

Guys,

A quick question. I'm applying to Questrom for R2 deadline i.e. 3rd of Jan'18. The issue is I haven't sent my official GMAT and TOEFL scores to Questrom. Now since their admissions office is closed for Christmas break, I can't get the info regarding whether they can accept unofficial scores too.
Can anyone help me with this query?

Thanks in advance !

Best regards
SR

You can attach unofficial scores and if I am correct you can send the official score report after admit.

Thanks maheshaero20 !

I have a query maheshaero20 (and from people who have applied or got an admit). Did you guys submit your unofficial with the applications and official ones only after securing an admit?
