How do I convert my GRE score to GMAT for business school applications?

Start shortlisting universities at least 6 months before your target intake, and finish your English test and documents 3–4 months before applications close.

What happens if I miss a milestone?

A missed milestone does not necessarily mean a missed intake — but the closer you are to the deadline, the fewer options remain. Move quickly on the overdue items shown first.
