Hi Prachi and Mananth,

Thanks for your response.

My grey area is actually different. I just saw yesterday that i submitted unchanged / unedited / incomplete responses to the questions on the application form like why Degroote / are your grades a true reflection of your ability / list of achievements etc. I'm worried since these are critical questions that would play a pivotal role in considering my application. I'm thinking on submitting the response to this question in a separate pdf and submitting them as an essay. I've gotten in touch with [email protected] but haven't heard from them as yet. Also, i submitted all the documents while applying but not sure if i need to send them additionally as they show "required" in the Mac portal

I think so those are required fields and you need to submit the sop like that.
And if you have submitted all the documents then it's fine u don't need to submit again. Because during my application I didn't submit my degree certificate. So they mailed me regarding that.
They will mail you if u have any incomplete info.

Do we have to upload any extra documents after submitting the application? I uploaded the Resume and Transcripts with the application and it still shows as “Required” under mosaic application requirements.

Degree certificate , transcripts, cv , IELTS score or medium of instruction proof as applicable , GMAT if applicable.

If all these were sent during the application,i think you're sorted.

One of the recommender should definitely be your manager or higher. Other can be collegue

Yes rhey need at least one person to be on a supervisor role. I'll replace the manager of my previous organization with Senior officer. That wouldn't be an issue i guess

Mine is still showing 'required'. But required only means that they are reviewing your documents, not that it is " incomplete"

Hey, I submitted my application on the 19th and all my documents too. I have not received my KIRA up until now.
Should I be worried? Are there others who have not received their KIRA link yet?

Hi Prachi, I think you should be receiving the email sooner or later, unless you applied on the start of the 3rd round. Since the deadline for the 2nd round was the 19th itself.

Don't worry and have faith.

Also, have you checked your spam/junk mail?

I did it within the Round 2 deadline, although it was cutting it a little close, I submitted my application about 8 hours before closing time.
I have checked my spam as well, no email.

Prachi don’t worry. You’re in good situation compared to me. I had paid fees for application on 13th but till now my application is not submitted. They are saying it’s technical issue so it will be resolved by next week. I didn’t even get acknowledgement for the same.

I can’t understand even after mailing them tons of time they are not even able to manually complete my application.

Till now I have mailed to IT team, information team, admission team but no resolution.

Is there anyone with same issue?

So sorry to hear that, but I think they will have to consider your application in Round 2 since you've been emailing them. Fingers crossed that all your problems get solved soon!
