I'll submit later in the day today. I have been postponing it forever.

On other thoughts: I have a very small yellow dot on one of the pages of my transcript. Like a small stain. Do you think I should use another copy or is it the last minute paranoia?

Haha I can understand you buddy, dont worry about it! (I re-checked the pdf of my resume after saving the doc as pdf thinking that in some way the two files would be different :D)

If it gives you some peace why not do it again? :) If you dont have another copy handy, use photoshop or something to remove the stain? :)

Yeah I considered that. I just think Photoshopping may make it blatant. Yeah I think I'll just use a different copy.

Did anyone complete the video questions yet? If so, what were your thoughts? Were the questions pretty typical interview questions?

Just submitted. Status gives me a red cross in the GMAT Score Report saying "Awating". Is that normal? I have submitted the report on the same day as my exam (about 2 weeks back). Others?

If you submitted it when you took the exam then it's up to GMAC to send it to the school. Check back in a week or two to see if it updated. Don't stress too much about it Souvik ;)

I submitted in early August and it says a green tick mark. I reckon you should give it sometime.

And yeah, anybody has any inputs for the video questions?

Is it mandatory to send the official scorecard through GMAC?

You'll have to check to the admissions site for what's required for the application itself (self report vs official) but to matriculate anywhere, you will have to send an official report.

This happened to me when I submitted yesterday. I checked back this morning and got the green tick - should just take some time!
