I am applying to Alberta this year for the 2016 Intake and just have my statement of intent to finish. Should be applying within the next 15 days. Anyone else out there applying for the 2016 intake?

Hey Chinmay,i got an admit too today from concordia..Done with my alberta interview..waiting for results...So u planning to join molson?

Hi Manoj, I had interview with McGill recruiter yesterday and am expecting to get the final decision in next week. Concordia seems to have a good flexible program, but the university and the school, both lag in terms of rankings compared to McGill or Alberta. I am still trying to speak to Concordia's current MBA students to get more information. I have been told by my cousin in US not to attend Alberta as its economy is in doldrums because of low oil prices and finance opportunities are rare in Edmonton. God knows when I will get any update from Sauder. You are waiting for about 2 months since submitting the application. I would mostly go ahead with McGill, if I were to get an admit. Have you decided your order of preference? Regards, Chinmay

manoj : Did you get any scholarship? I didn't.

i know...have been reading about the albertian economy too....have not applied to McGill's....if i get sauder,then sauder...else john molson i guess

and no..no scholarships...did u ask the admissions comittee for availability of any scholarships?

I checked in application portal. It says scholarship window will be open only after 24 hours from the issue of offer. So I will check tonight. But I don't think admissions team will be able to help me in this area. Its holiday time and people are returning to office on 6th Jan and I have to confirm by 7th Jan.

Guys I am also planning to apply in Alberta for 2016. Can you guys pls guide on preparation of videos essays?

Hi, Did you receive the link to complete your video essays? I haven't so far. I submitted my application on 9 Dec. Checked with Chris (Admissions Director) regarding video essays. He said I would hear from them in current week. I think they would have standard questions such as why MBA, why Alberta, career goals so on. There are couple of members who have completed video essays and would be able to comment on exact nature of questions. Regards, Chinmay

I doubt they will be the usual questions desai. Shulich ones were different : 'How would you explain facebook to your grandmother'.etc I'm thinking Alberta would have done the same. :/

I agree with @VijayG6387....one of the questions in the practise video was"Tell me about a dream that you had recently"...so it is different from a normal interview question...
