Did I just blow my MBA applications?

I applied to 4 elite schools last month. This is the month where I wait for interviews.

I had no idea as to whether or not I should've sent in official test scores(Wharton said no need, others had mixed information) and the submission site was down/malfunctioning for a few weeks... so I waited until the 30th of September to send out scores officially. I hoped I might be able to save on fees because I'm cheap.

Did I just waste my applications?

happy to help in anyway, don't fret as they shall have guideline dates listed for interview rounds, but if I was you, I dont want to have the little (but ridiculous) GMAT fee be the only block in front of you.
