do international candidates usually send their original degree certificates once they are invited for interviews? it seems too risky!! what if it is lost in transit? what to do when another school will ask for it? so many people lose their baggage even when they are travelling with it in flights. 1 piece of envelope is so easy to lose too!

Hi guys my application dashboard is still showing that schools haven't received the official GMAT score report however mba.com shows that they have sent the reports to the schools (last checked 3 weeks back and the website said that they had already sent it to to the schools). What should i do here and do schools need the official report before they can send out the interview invite?

They DO NOT ask for the ORIGINAL diplomas, they ask for CERTIFIED ORIGINAL COPIES. In my case, my school, for a price, offers this copies, which are basically a copy of my diploma and transcripts, with the shool's seal and signature (by hand, not printed), certifying them as original. Then those copies are the ones which you send. Translations are either done by the shool or by a certified legal translator.

From what I heard, regarding interview invites they only need self-reported scores.

Got an invite yesterday so they are still sending them out.

I also received an interview invite yesterday. Fingers crossed!

I received an email today: "We are off to a speedy start this year reviewing Round 2 applications and meeting interviewees. Here are some tips that will help you excel, plus updates about what's happening around our vibrant community:" Does that mean they just start to review my application?
