Hi everyone,
I’m planning to apply to the ESCP Master in Management, but I’m currently facing a document issue and would really appreciate some guidance from anyone who has been in a similar situation.
I have all the required application documents ready, except my university transcripts. Unfortunately, my university is facing administrative delays and is and will be on vacation from 22 December to 19 January, and even after reopening, the transcript process will take another two weeks.
Because of this, I’m at risk of missing several important application deadlines.
However, I do have my Official CMM (Consolidated Marks Memo), which clearly shows all the courses I studied, the exams I took, and the grades I received across my entire undergraduate program.
I’ve already tried contacting ESCP admissions several times, but I haven’t received a response yet, and the deadline for this round is TOMORROW 15 JAN ITSELF.
I’m especially keen to apply in this round because there are multiple internal and external scholarship opportunities tied to it, and missing this window could directly impact my ability to fund the program.
My questions are:
• Has anyone successfully applied to ESCP MiM without final transcripts?
• Do they accept a CMM or provisional academic record at the application stage?
• Is it possible to submit official transcripts later, after receiving a conditional offer?
If anyone has experience with ESCP or insight into how strict they are about transcripts at the time of application, your guidance would really mean a lot.
Thanks in advance, any clarity here would genuinely help reduce a lot of uncertainty right now.

This is a high-pressure situation, but you need to act decisively. Since the deadline is tomorrow, 15 January, you cannot afford to wait for a reply from the admissions office.
Based on ESCP’s general admission policies and typical practices for top-tier European business schools, here is the honest, "strict guide" advice you requested on how to handle this.
1. Can you apply with the CMM (Consolidated Marks Memo)?
Yes, you can and you should. ESCP, like many international schools, understands that university administration varies globally. A Consolidated Marks Memo (CMM) is an official document from your university that lists all your modules and grades. For the application phase, this is generally sufficient to prove your academic standing.
Yes, this is standard procedure. If your CMM is accepted for the review process, any offer of admission you receive will be "Conditional." * The condition will explicitly state that you must provide your final, official degree transcripts by a specific date (usually by the time of enrollment in late August/September).
Do not let the lack of a "Final Transcript" stop you from hitting the 15 January deadline, especially with scholarships on the line. Follow these steps exactly:
You mentioned you want to apply now for scholarship opportunities. Be aware that because you are missing a formal document, your application might be flagged as "Incomplete" by an automated system or a rigid administrator.

- The Nuance: The admissions committee needs to see your academic performance history to evaluate your profile. Your CMM provides exactly that.
- The Requirement: Ensure the CMM is official (stamped/signed) and in English (or French). If it is not in English, you must provide a certified translation.

If your CMM is accepted for the review process, any offer of admission you receive will be "Conditional." * The condition will explicitly state that you must provide your final, official degree transcripts by a specific date (usually by the time of enrollment in late August/September).
- Hard Truth: If you fail to provide the official transcripts later, your admission and any awarded scholarships will be revoked.
Do not let the lack of a "Final Transcript" stop you from hitting the 15 January deadline, especially with scholarships on the line. Follow these steps exactly:
- Upload the CMM: In the section for "University Transcripts," upload your Official CMM.
- Attach an "Explanation Letter": Create a brief, professional PDF (1 page). State clearly:
- That the CMM serves as your full academic record to date.
- The specific dates your university is closed (22 Dec – 19 Jan).
- A commitment to providing the formal transcripts as soon as the university reopens (provide an estimated date, e.g., early February).
- Combine Files: If the portal only allows one upload for transcripts, merge the CMM and your Explanation Letter into a single PDF.
You mentioned you want to apply now for scholarship opportunities. Be aware that because you are missing a formal document, your application might be flagged as "Incomplete" by an automated system or a rigid administrator.
- Where to work hard: If you submit tomorrow, you must be extremely proactive on 20 January (the day after your university reopens). Do not wait for the university's "two-week" timeline. Go in person if possible, or call every hour until you have proof that the transcript request is being processed.
- Scholarship Risk: Some merit scholarships are highly competitive. If your file is marked "incomplete" because of the transcript, you may be pushed to Round 3 (February). To prevent this, you must follow up with an email to the admissions office again tomorrow after you submit, attaching your proof of submission and the explanation letter.
