I got a mail from adcom today requesting for Proof of my undergrad degree awarded??
Like all of you i am surprised too... i have my transcript attached and wonder what else the Adcom is looking for....
On hearing about ppl who got interview calls before the completion of application (Request for stuff like GMAT score, Essay etc...) i am now really worried if the calls go out without the applications being completely read.....
IITM stand no chance at all then.....
With such incidents on a rise i dont know whether to be happy that they are yet to evaluate my application or thay have already read my application... didnt extend invite.... and want a document to complete my application and close my file......
Any take???
The application instructions (I printed them off seperately and then followed along for each section as I was filling in the app, something I would strongly recommend) stated that if you attended a foreign undergraduate/graduate institution that you must scan in your diploma
in addition to providing formal transcripts. I went to undergrad in Canada so I figured it applied to me-called my parents up, had them scan in the diploma and uploaded it under the transcripts. I kept to the KB restrictions for the transcript. It was a huge pain, mainly because diplomas are gigantc and in latin (from my school). Plus, when I went home, it looked like my parents put it back in all helter skelter and crooked, which sort of hits me at an OCD level.
I would highly recommend printing off the app directions for schools seperately because some of them have nitpicky details like this. Ross was the only school that asked for a diploma scan, though. As an example, some schools have a page + word limit, if you read the instructions carefully.
