How to apply for schools to which score is already sent

Question

I got a 650 and score would have been sent to 5 schools identified by me before the test. Now how do I proceed further. Would the schools get back to me or how does that work? I would appreciate if you could respond to the same. Thank you.

What is your question, I dont get it. You will get notified that they received the scores so you dont need to contact them about that. Are you applying to schools during R3?

Sandy.. the B School app is different from Med School. The school doesnt get back to you for a secondary application after scores are sent. 
Go to the website and check out their application requirements and deadlines. Most ask for 3-4 questions, recommendations, GMAT scores (which you have already sent), TOEFL (if non US student), and transcripts.

If you are planning to apply for Fall '09, then hang around the forum to get an idea of the whole app process. Its pretty taxing.

Good Luck

Yes, I am applying in R3. My question is: What is the procedure for applying to schools, selected during the gmat test?

It varies from school to school. Check each school's admissions website for instructions and applications. The schools don't necessarily do anything. You have to complete a bunch of forms, essays, recommendations, etc.

The schools websites now all have online applications you have to use. Its a little late to read up on it now but there are some great books available that would really be helpful. Remember R3 is the most difficult round and apps even if they are rushed will take about a month to get done...many of us spent two to three months on our applications. Especially if you are doing 5 schools.
