Hey guys-
I have to do a retake of the GMAT and was wondering what is Fuqua's policy on Official Scores? I know on the site it says that it's not complete until they have the official in, but does that mean it can come in a couple days after the deadline? Right now aiming for Dec 22nd (2 weeks before) but want to try and push it a few days to maybe the 26th if i can. Fuqua is my #1 choice so definitely don't want to mess it up lol
As long as you take the GMAT before the deadline (even a day or two and can put it into the application), you should be OK... even though the official scores may not be sent to the school for a week or two or three.... I doubt they will be reading your essays on Christmas... though you never know
Thanks for the reply! I may have misworded what I meant. I didn't mean I'd send the application in before Christmas. I want to retake my GMAT on the 27th or 29th (1 week before the application deadline). The deadline for Fuqua is Jan. 5th. My concern is that their website states they need the official scores in order to mark my application to be complete. Has anyone heard if it would be OK for official to come in a few days after that deadline?
Basically put unofficial scores in, but official scores MAY come in after the deadline. I know some schools have a hard rule on that and I just want to check with anyone had experience or heard things about the policy. I just don't want to get dinged or moved to R3 for my official scores coming in a few days later that's all.
The deadline stated on the website (Jan 5 for your case) is only for the things to be done/submitted by you, which include taking tests and submitting your application. If you fail to do any of these two, your application will be pushed to the next round. There is another deadline (usually a few days after the application deadline) that's for the things that will not be submitted by you directly such as recommendation letters and official scores. For my round, the application deadline was Sep 17 and the one for recommendation/official scores was Sep 26. I can consider myself lucky because it was 9 days; Usually it's less than that (Darden gave me 3 days only before they had to push it for another 3 days as the system was down at that time)
The other deadline can be found on the Duke's portal. once you submit your application, you will be sent an email telling you that your application status is incomplete and you will also be provided with a link to SISS portal where you can log in and find that deadline. If you are in a hurry, you can email the admission office and they should tell you the deadline
