I think scools basically want to make sure that your students visa does not get rejected due to lack of funds so that thats why they are asking for financial related docs now. Since you have greater chance of getting rejected during visa interview if you say that you plan to finance you MBA thru loans, you will have to come up with assets of freinds/relatives even though you may not be borrowing from them eventually.

This is from the Tepper Website

"If you are admitted, these forms will be used to verify the source(s) of funds. Proper documentation is necessary for the school to issue the I-20 form needed to obtain a student visa."

Even I am unclear on whether these docs are need with the application.....gotto write to the adcom...if anyone has done so already plz let us know...thnx

No need to submit financial documents at the time of applying. secondly, transcripts from your college are needed.

Thanks for clearing the doubt about financial statement. But can I submit my marksheets which have all the subjects undertaken and latter submit the original transcript? I have a problem that I am running short of time to get transcripts from the college. Also is there any format for the transcripts?

Hi,
I have a clarification regarding cheque for application fee. I am from India so the cheque would be in Indian Rupees (INR). But by the time the cheque reaches you it would be some days so, how would the conversion be performed. Should I draft the cheque with the conversion from dollars to INR on the day the cheque is taken?

Could one of you please clarify this.

With Regards
Murali

@murali

why dont you use a credit card for the payment. it is the fastest and most secure IMHO. tell me if I am missing something here.

Hi Amit,
As far as I am aware CMU doesnt have the option of online payment. They need it as a cheque, money order, or cashier's check. Could you clarify if you have already payed the amount?

WHAT! I cannot believe this... After the Cornell ding I was considering looking at CMU.. Now if they don't have something as basic as this, don't know if I want to apply!

Hi,
I stand corrected. I read their application instructions and they mention that the mode of payment is cheque, money order or cashier's cheque. I visited their website and did an application check where there is an option to choose the preffered mode of payment Credit Card is one mode of payment.

So I guess we all can be certain that we need not worry about the conversion rates :wink:.
