Cass is a goo school in London, but expensive, so make sure to manage your expenses.

devavrat · Answer

Hi I wanted to know if I need to send the school my official GMAT score before I submit the application?
Same question for the transcripts and IELTS score.
Anyone offered scholarships from India?

chandan335 · Answer

No you don't need to submit the official gmat score before you submit the application. But you would have to do that before you are interviewed. Transcripts and IELTS are not required till admission is finalized.

What sort of questions does the admission committee ask during the interview stage? How long does the interview last for?
Typically how much time is required for the Adcom to review the application and once done with the interview how long before they let you know their decision?

I had a question about the references required.

I was finishing up my application and noticed that it says suitable sources ie manager, they will not accept colleagues?

Does it have to be your direct manager? Can it be someone in a management position that did not necessarily manage you directly but interacted with you often.

Just looking for a bit of clarification.

(Also, the fact that you can't move freely through the app is super annoying lol)

Thanks!

devavrat · Answer

Is everyone invited for the interview?
And I got a confirmation mail that I have been shortlisted for the interview but they haven't provided me with a date. The adcom said that they would provide a suitable date for the interview later on since they had a backlog of applications. Is this the same procedure for everyone?
Also, I received my interview invite within 2 days of submitting the application.

Hi guys,

I have an interview scheduled on 25th March with Dr. Laetitia Minoum. Any advice on what to expect in the interview and anyone had an interview with her before?
Any specifics I need to prepare for the interview?

hkwu85 · Answer

It should be fine, they are flexible on this. What you have to do is submitted a CV and talk with the team. They will let you know can or can not.

The interview for me was like a get to know each other session. My interviewer is nice and friendly.

Questions were mainly those they provided in the email and website. So Just relax and show your eagerness should be fine.
