That info should be provided in the offer letter/materials. I believe I was given about a month for the deposit.

I am almost done with my essays... hopefully it'll be done by Sunday.
Recommendations should also come in by Monday-Tuesday.

I have a question, though. Do I need to send scores to Georgetown via GMAC/MBA website? Or are unofficial scores enough for now?
Unofficial meaning the PDF that shows my GMAT score and the schools that I sent the scores to on test day.

Or does it show a better intent if I send official scores?

Good luck, guys!

Thanks. I will send score from MBA dot com.

Do they need to know about my high school too? I have only put in my Undergraduate information...

So the "essays" tab in the application says:
***
All essays should be double-spaced using 12pt. font. Prepare your attachments offline in separate document files and upload them individually. Please follow the instructions regarding length of each attachment, and label each page with your name.
***

What's the last part with labels? Do they mean the "labels and envelopes" feature of MS Word? :shock: :? :roll:

EDIT: I got a reply from their Admissions Committee - I guess 'headers' for every page are fine. :D

Submitted!

I think you are fine if you just scan a copy of the score report you get in the mail. I don't think you need to send the official until accepted. I know it costs money to send the actual from GMAC. Per GTown instructions:
"GMAT or GRE Score (online; an official score report must be submitted once you have been admitted and prior to matriculating into the program)"
