Submitted! The process of paying fees after a URL is received, again submitting transcripts, and also the ambiguity regarding GMAT scores is kinda confusing and tedious! Never mind, it's done now. I confirmed with GIAC that they have received my GMAT score. I'll just wait for the URL, then. Upto 2 business days. :-/

Just got the same response. They confirmed that they had received the scores, and said that if it didn't update in few dates, I should inform them. Process doesn't seem well automated.

I just submitted my application and realized that I haven't put in my extra curricular activities anywhere. Is it just me or does McCombs not have a section for extras?

Hey Mac, I'm in the same boat. Any word on your application? Thanks, ctrlz

dude.. there is no section for activities in the McCombs application. This is unique. I tried to include most of them in my resume, and one or two in my essays. On second thought, I feel I could have added some of those in the optional essay as well.

Hi All, Looks like one of my recommenders just submitted his reco (around one hour after the deadline). Just wanted to know your thoughts on whether the school would be fine with this? Should I drop them an email to consider my app for R1? I am a reapplicant and had submitted my application yesterday itself!

Your application would be considered in R1. I read it on an admissions blog of McCombs that they allow a window of 1 - 2 days for recommendations after the deadlines. So, it'll be fine. you need not worry.
