I did my engineering from McMaster Univ and after working in toronto for a couple of years, I returned to India to work in the family business..
On comparing both universities, there is a difference of more than 20k in tuition fees. As far as I understand, Queen's is a fairly well known school but Rotman is doing better in recent rankings. In the long run I am not sure exactly what I will be doing.. But any suggestions on what may be a better choice? My first reaction is: how much does $20k mean to you? I would say choose the school that has the employers you're most interested in recruiting there. Can`t go wrong that way!

I had my interview on 15th and attended the mumbai event on 16th Feb. The interview more kind of an informal talk with usual questions regarding CV, why Rotman, why MBA etc.
There were about 10 people whom they did interview in three days when the adcom team was there in Mumbai.

Just in case anyone wanted to know the timeline:
-Did my GMAT on Feb 12, 2013
-Feb 19th - Went to meet Lynda at Admissions for a pre-application review. We went over some of my info at that time, and I gave her my Unofficial Score Report at that time.
-Feb 21st - I called in to Lynda because there was some mix up about my application. We sorted it out and she asked me to come interview on the 26th.
-Feb 26th - The interview was very pleasant and she mostly asked questions I was expecting. Thanks to all who posted about their interview experiences! It really helped.
-March 2nd - Official Score Report was made available to me.
-March 4th - Notification from Rotman that my application was now considered complete (must have received the Official Score Report).
-March 5th - Called by Niki to inform me of my acceptance.
I'm very pleased with the acceptance and will be attending Rotman in the Fall. Looking forward to meeting with all of you there!
My profile - Male, 23 years old (24 in April), 3.3 GPA, 720 GMAT (49Q, 40V, 6 AWA, 6 IR), will have 2 years work experience by the time I start at Rotman. I currently work in Industrial/Commercial Real Estate Management.
PM me if you have any questions. I don't know how much I can help anyone, but I will definitely try.
Thanks again for everyone's contributions to this forum. I can honestly say it does actually help potential students. :D Congratulations on the admit! The entire process seems to have been pretty quick, I'm jealous  Still waiting for word on my app, 8th is round the corner. With any luck, hope to see you guys at Rotman!

Accepted for MFin 2013 with a regular 10k award. My profile is the next: Master's in IT from Ukraine, Master's in Finance form Ukraine, 4+ financial experience (2 in Ukraine, 2 in Toronto). GMAT 640 IELTS 7 (I was doing it almost two years ago and didn't try hard. This result was enough here as well)

Hey guys. congrats on your admits.
I've send my documents at least a month ago, but I haven't heard anything from the school. not even reject or an interview invitation.
What's going on?Is that a bad omen? should i be worried or I should be relaxed?
How long does it take to consider the files and move on to next level!?
If anyone has heard from the school, and of course about funding, let us know. Thanks.

Hey guys, I just got an interview invitation from sheldon. It's a little short notice and there is no time for me to go over my notes or practice . Can someone tell me what I should expect? I'm told it will be a skype interview about 45minutes. What has sheldon asked you in your interviews? What do they expect? what should I do in the time that I have? (get some information? review my application? just practice interviewing and speaking since I'm not a native speaker?) Is there something out of the routine "why MBA?why now?goals?background questions?" I love Rotman. I mean even the pink in the bulding is attractive to me  so I really want to impress him and get into rotman (I might be a little crazy but when I saw "The Admissions Committee completed an initial review of your application and it has impressed us so far. " as the opening to my email it was like they've given me the noble prize ) Anyway, I'd appreciate if you could tell me about your interviews. Thanks

Hello guys,
I have got an admit for Rotman MBA for this Fall. I am currently living in NYC and I am planning to go to Toronto by end of July or first week of August.
Does anyone happen to know how much MBA pre-program is going to cost and the exact date of when the pre-program starts. Also, I am trying to locate discussion forums for upcoming students. Please let me know if any such forums exist. Thanks.
Regards,
Akhil
