Go to the websites of the schools you’re looking to apply for, they should explain what their application process involves. You can even just initiate applications with them and see what all the text boxes and prompts you have to respond to. If you decide against it you can always cancel the application or just leave it unfinished.

Each of these websites has a checklist, OP...

You’re a lock to Gtown as long as your gmat is over 630.

Maybe for the part time MBA.
