Sending Transcripts to the school..

Its important to do a good research about the Bschool, whether its about the faculty, ranking, placements or the admission process.
Admission process is the first thing.. so always keep a few things in mind. Go to the website of the school and Read carefully what are the things you need to send through by post and what are the things you need to submit online.
Some schools ask for: online application, online recommendation and only transcripts by post Example: Goizueta Business School, Emory University.
Some schools say that the full application bundle should reach their office. Take printouts of everything, fill them and then send.
So its important to know these things well before hand so that you can plan for submission date accordingly
It’s 6th November, 08 and I started the application process officially. Sent my first transcripts to Emory. When you spend some money, you get a feel yeah.. I have started something and now I need to complete it.
I am still a long way from submitting the full application. I have written 2 essays and struggling with 2 more.

Some important things you need to take care of to keep track of things:
- Talk to your recommenders well in advance. If your first round deadline is 30th, ask them to be ready with recommendations by 25th because once you submit your application, a link will be sent to your recommenders and then they need to fill the stuff. Your recommender may take a day or 2 to fill that and send that. Your application is not complete until and unless everything reaches the university. So if you submit your app. on 30th and your recommender fills and submits on 3rd of next month, it means your application was not complete in first round so may be considered in 2nd round only. In unavoidable circumstances, you can always talk to adcom and sort it out but when you know this and if you have enough time, try to submit it well before the deadline.
- Send your transcripts to school atleast a week before the deadline as in normal case it can take upto a week if you are sending an application from India to US. There is always an option to send the documents/transcripts in 2 days (DHL charges extra Rs 1250/- for that)

Save some money: Fedex and DHL both charge around Rs. 2000+ for documents (weighing less than 500gms). But DHL is charging giving more than 50% discount to all who are sending it to some school over there. So they are charging just Rs. 990/-. Tell them before you book an order.
For faster delivery (2 days) DHL charges 1250/- more but for students again, they are charging just Rs 500/-
Cheers to DHL..

I still have 2 essays left for Emory. I really need to focus. I really need a Click.

Ciao.
