Candidates must be formally submitted to MBA for Diamond Certification service for official determination because the Diamond Digital Review does not guarantee a particular outcome.

Digital Review requires quality images. High resolution front and back images are highly recommended. If taking photos with a phone, we encourage uploading multiple images of each corner, in addition to full front/back. Note that both front and back images with medium-to-high resolution are required for the Digital Review service. Digital Review assessments may not be possible if back images are absent, or adequate image quality is unavailable.
