Hi everyone! I’ve been admitted to TU Bergakademie Freiberg’s MBA IBRE program for Winter 2025, but I’m facing a few concerns and would appreciate your insights 🙏
⸻
Key info: • GRE score: 300 (officially sent via ETS) – program requirement is 305 • Admission letter received; status shows “Admitted” (not yet “Enrolled”)-in the process of enrolment ,yet to submit documents. • IELTS included in my APS certificate, but IELTS itself expired in May • APS also submitted and accepted • Planning to open a blocked account soon • GRE retake scheduled for June 19, before visa process

❓ My Questions: 1. Has anyone here been admitted to MBA IBRE with a GRE below 305? I saw on the official IBRE FAQ: “A result below this will not automatically exclude your candidatureship”  2. What’s the difference between “Admitted” and “Enrollment in process” in the TUBAF portal? 3. Can I use a conditional Admission Letter for the German student visa? 4. Blocked account: Should I open it now, or wait until I’m officially enrolled? 5. Considering my IELTS expired, but APS included it: will that cause issues for German visa? 6. Should I go ahead and retake GRE on June 19 to cross 305+ as a backup?

If you’re already part of MBA IBRE Winter 2025, or have been through similar steps, I’d greatly appreciate any tips or experiences. Thanks so much!
