Hi Guys,

I have a GMAT of 620 with 4.3 years of work experience in Software Industry.
I'm applying for fall'18 FT MBA. The final deadline is mentioned as May 2. Should I go for a retake in a fortnight to improve score or apply rightaway as admission is a rolling process.
I'm an International applicant from India.
Please advise.
Thanks!

People who have got calls for interviews already:

Do we need to send official transcripts and degree certificate (hard copies) soon after the deadline or will they review the application without it ? I am about to submit my application for Feb 28 deadline and need urgent help with this.

Thanks a lot !

From what I experienced, they will review your application without hard-copies of official transcripts and degree certification.

Hope it could help.

Thanks for your reply! Did they ask you to later send the hard copies or did you send them yourself after you submitted the app?
Also - if you can please share, how long do they take to review the app and send you an update ?

You have to submit them those papers when you accept their offer and, I guess, send them as long as you arrive in Sauder.

For my case, it take about 3 weeks to receive the interview invitation and 2 weeks after the interview for the decision.

Hi guys, just received a notify showing that my application is under initial review for Adcom.
Could any one who received admission/ interview may share the timeline for interview schedule?

Hi,
I submitted my application on 10th January. I uploaded all the unofficial transcripts, GMAT and IELTS score reports on the portal. I have not received any update from the admissions team and the application status is still Application Submitted. Is it necessary to send the official scores for the application to be reviewed? I can send my GMAT score easily but to send the IELTS score, it has to be sent over courier as Sauder does not accept electronic score.

Hi All,

I submitted my application on 10th Jan and my recommendations were submitted by 20th Jan.
I haven't heard any thing from adcom yet nor has my application moved to review phase yet...Is it normal?

Hi, I would advice you to send all required official docs to the Admission committee. According to wording on the Sauder website, they would not review your application until all the required official docs arrive. So you would better arrange them asap.

Hi
I submitted by application on January 10.
I haven’t received any update from the ad com yet.
Any idea by when will they be rolling out the interview decisions ? It’s been over 2 months and nothing.

Hi everyone !

I had submitted my application on 10th of January but accidently skipped adding mandatory docs in the online application. I had received a notification around the missing docs only around 12-13th March. I got a notification on 16th March that my file was ready to be forwarded to the adcom for an initial review, but since then I haven't heard anything from their end. Anyone else on the same boat? What can I infer from this.

Thanks in advance !

Best
SR
