Hi,
I am planning to apply in R1 in the next admission season. I gave GMAT last year and scored a 730. My main focus is on applying to European schools (and also maybe Rotman). Since this is the first time I am applying, would be really grateful if experienced applicants can provide guidance regarding the following:
1) General timelines for R1 applicants (including hiring of consultants, starting application prep, essays etc.)
2) Attending school events/webinars. I've read that it makes sense to attend these events right now to gain more knowledge about the various programs
3) Finalizing a consultant: Can anyone let me know how to go about doing the same, given the plethora of options (with a large pricing range) on offer? Given that I can schedule free sessions with them, what should be the things that I should enquire about that can allow me to make an informed decision?
4) Can I do anything in the remaining time to improve my profile (in terms of volunteering experience etc.?) I am currently preparing for CFA Level 3, which is scheduled for May-end 2021 so anyways have a time crunch.
5) Does it make sense to reach out to current students or alums of the schools that I am targeting?
Looking forward to hear from you all so that I can get some sort of clarity regarding this daunting process!

In the following links, you can see the deadlines of most schools for the current application cycle. It will more or less be the same for the next application cycle. Once you select schools, their application deadline's will let you prioritize all other activities accordingly.

Highly recommend that. The admissions committee, students, and alumni are a great source of information about a school and its application process
Tagging a few consultants to guide you with more information

Hi WCGMAT0208,
Thanks for sharing your details.
My name is Priyanka, Client Manager at ARINGO.
It is great that you are starting early. From GMAT perspective, a score of 730 is good enough for European schools and Rotman https://www.aringo.com/toronto-rotman-business-school-mba/
For your other queries:
- 1. General timelines: This link can help you to prepare for timelines for the Round 1 applications- https://www.aringo.com/ideal-timeline-for-mba-application/.
- 2. Webinars/Virtual Campus visit: Yes, attending the webinars will help you understand the admissions process, how the school is, etc. These webinars will not only help you prepare stronger applications but also help you get familiar with the culture of the school. You can always check the upcoming events of top schools here- https://www.aringo.com/top-mba-programs-events/
- 3. Finalizing consultants: Speak to the consultants and discuss your profile, your preference, and constraints. If you send me your CV at [email protected], I would love to connect you with our CEO who will be happy to help further with a detailed review and perhaps work together on some amazing apps.
- 4. Profile improvement: CFA is good (esp for Rotman😊). Try getting involved in community work but do not limit yourself to participating- Take initiatives. Additionally, you can also try taking projects at your workplace that will showcase your leadership skills, enhance your cross-culture exposure.
- 5. Networking: Again, yes! It is good to connect with current students and alums of your target school. A lot of schools have student ambassadors published on their websites. You can also connect using LinkedIn, etc.
Hope this helps!
All the best.
