Hi,

Even with the downturn there are still jobs in the energy sector it is just not booming quite like it was a couple of years ago. And hopefully in another couple of years the economy improves a bit.

Hi guys,

I also plan to apply to Alberta MBA.
However, my GMAT is only 600 (Q50, V21). Is that possible to apply, or should I retake the GMAT.
By the way, I really dont know how to crack the verbal. I now decide to purchase egmat to study verbal part. Hope that it helps, but really worry.

Hi,

There is no set timeline for when you will hear back so be patient. This is one of the busiest times of the year for the admissions department. Length of time to hear back doesn't tell you anything about whether you will be accepted or not. I didn't get my first interview until over a month after I applied. Be patient and good luck!

Hi,

The minimum GMAT score required to be admitted to the program is 550. The admissions department offers a preliminary assessment where they will assess the strength of your application. If they suggest you retake the GMAT then you have plenty of time to study and increase your score. The link to the assessment is here https://apps.business.ualberta.ca/forms ... ion/Create

Good Luck!

Chelsea
