Desautels (McGill U) 2013 - Calling All MBA Applicants

Huh? Viewing a public profile is hardly an invasion of privacy.

Posted from my mobile device

How does the class size(75) of Desautels compare with other canadian b-schools which have class sizes of more than 300 ?
I found only 500 Desautels connections on LinkedIn as compared to others schools which have more than 10000.

Does it mean lack of networking and alumni support during and after MBA ?

Agree.
Whatever it is, I don't mind this kind of invasion at all. I would do the same..hehe..

You can find many more on Facebook

How is viewing a public professional profile an invasion of privacy? Admissions has a responsibility to the Desautels program, current students and alumni to do these kinds of checks.

Anybody here is considering specializing in two concentrations ?

Can't agree more

Here is another official evidence

I have to pay my reservation fee by April 30th;

Had been searching for financing options for my enrolment and I am getting a loans here in India at 15% (17% including starting fee) interest rate.

Does it make sense to go for eduction loan at this high interest rate? Should I try next year in schools which offer non consignor loan options or try for better scholarships.

Can an MBA student work while enrolled in McGill's MBA program. If yes, what component of the MBA cost can be covered by working.

Merci bien , Cherie :D How about you still no news? Anyway , I believe in an English proverb that says "No new good news"

Guys anybody can afford a couple of minutes to scan my resume and tell me if it was OK ? Thanks in advance

Nona,

1. Are you confident that you will be able to improve your GMAT score enough to get a job as a GMAT instructor? If so, what is your secret this time around?
2. Could you explain what you mean by "My opinion , a year from your life is much more expensive than any sum of money"? Because I don`t understand.
3. Are you really 100% sure Manhattan GMAT pays $100/hr. You're not, like, 110% sure?
4. I would hesitate to encourage people to take on debt that they cannot or could not confidently service, why do you believe it a smart choice to "overload" yourself?
5. If you want an honest answer, your resume is not OK at the moment.

Big congrats!!!!

1- Princeton Review targets a minimum of 640 ... which is not distant from my target frame , anyway I am still considering back up plans if this GMAT teaching option does not work.

2- My personal belief is that 365 days from a person's life are much more precious than any sum of money . If it were me , I would not wait till next year even if this would burden me financially for some time.

3- Yes , 120% they mentioned this on their website : 100$ per working hour and 20$ for every hour of your training . Veritas also pay the same but they have a center in Toronto ONLY not in Montreal .i.e only online option would be available

4-for the sake of 3 letters on which my whole working experience depended : ROI = return of investment .It is all about the comparison between revenues and expenses : I would be "overloaded" for some time if I would earn more on the long run . I took several degrees thinking this way , and , most important , planned this way for every training I delivered and every account in my territory when I used to work in sales and it always proved worthwhile...at least relatively to my objectives and expectations.This was made me suggest the idea but certainly it all depends on his own choice and what he believes is suitable for him in the end .

5- I could not understand . could you please elaborate more ?

I decided to decline the offer today, I am not comfortable in getting loan at 15 to 17% int rate..

Good luck to ppl joining the program

Good luck with whatever you choose . My advice is to start from now planning for the next step in order not to face the same situation again.What are the available options to fund an MBA ? what suits you best ? what is plan B ? and plan C? Above all , which schools will meet both criteria , financial and academic , for you ?

By the way my own back up plan for Mcgill is Concordia's John Molson .They are reasonable in cost and accept two classes a year : Fall and winter .So if you are interested in Montreal specifically you can consider this option as well .

Good luck and wishing you all the best . Keep us updated

Hi Caramia81.

Any update on your interview result?
Mine was also conducted on 19 April but still no update...

Hey guys,
How long does it take for McGill to process an application?
This is said in their website :Admission decisions are usually rendered within four weeks following receipt of complete applications with all supporting documents.

I submitted my application in March, even if it was March 15th, it already has been 1.5month. They haven't even invited me for an interview. They haven't told me if my documents are not complete, or I've been rejected.

I've contacted school for 1000times, everytime J! says I'll talk to P! tommorrow then he goes and forgets all about it. He even told me he will talk to P to schedule my interview for tommorrow but i haven't heard form him for few days.

How long should I wait??
I think they may have decided and just stringing me along for fun!
I'm tired of waiting and getting no answers.
Do you know whom (else) I can contact to see about my application?

How long did it take for you guys to get an interview invitation and how long after that to heas about your result?
