Hi... I'm done with my Rice Interview.... It was more of a conversation and the only question was to run through the resume... Nothing else

I dunno if that is a good sign or a bad sign...

Finished my interview as well . It was a very conversational interview. Just the normal questions were asked....... nothing out of the blue...... so any idea whether they send the admits on the date of the deadline or is it rolling?

I have absolutely no idea on that mate. Just waiting for that email.

BTW, I believe you have a call from Wharton and other big shots, So why apping to Rice. I mean there is a huge diff in the rankings atleast. Any special reasons for that ?

Soeey late reply kamakazie :). I went to write my TOEFL today. I am in chennai. Can you also tell me what people mean by transcripts??. Does that mean, getting the marksheets xeroxed and attested by the authorities? Do we need to get it attested by University or college?? Plz help me 😃

Transcripts are basically a statement of your marks by the institute where you studied. The administrative staff in most colleges are aware of how to make a transcript and the format basically varies from one college to another. Basically it should contain the following things:

1. Statement that you were a student at that institute (along with exact dates)

2. The grading system that the college uses (example 0%-40% fail, 40%-60% second class.... so on and so forth)

3. The number of credit hours (as in 1 lecture = how many hours, 1 practical session = how any hours)

4. Details about the subjects studies during each year along with the grade/percentage/marks obtained and the number of lectures per subject)

Having said this I am sure your college administrative staff has made many such transcripts and will have their own formats. So just go to you college and ask the office to make a transcript for you. Some colleges may charge you for the transcript. Also you have to make as many transcripts as the number of colleges you want to apply. You cannot make one transcript and then xerox it as send it with you applications.

Lastly, don't forget to ask the office to seal the transcripts in an envelope with stamp across all sealed ends and the signature of your college registrar across the main seal.

Hope this answers your query. Also please post such generic queries on relevant threads like the Phoren B-School Assistance Desk. It will help you in getting your queries answered faster.

CHEERS!!!!

Thanx

In addition to your transcripts you also have to send xerox of your mark sheets. Though they can be attested by any notarized authority it is better if you can get it attested by the Registrar of you college. Generally they do it without and hassle
