Calling all DeGroote MBA students for Fall '23

Hi guys,
I am applying for MBA programme at McMaster and in the application, there is a question "Did you complete a degree where the official language of instruction and evaluation was in English."
If I mark it as yes, I am not getting the option to submit my IELTS score and if I mark it as No, the option to submit IELTS score appears.
I am not sure what to select here. Can anyone help me?

Hi.
If you can get a bonafide from your university on their letterhead stating that the mode of instruction was English, you are good to go without IELTS. Else, You need to submit IELTS.

For a safer side, I'd suggest you to kindly submit your IELTS.

All the best !!

Hi, I just submitted my application a few days ago. Still waiting for a personal interview appointment. I look forward to hearing from your updates! Best of luck everyone.

Hey guys! Have any of the 2022 deferred candidates received their revised offer letters yet? Or what is the timelines communicated by DeGroote to receive revised letters?

Hey guys,
Can you guys specify which program you've applied to? FT or Co-op? I just completed my Co-op interview yesterday. I'd love to hear the updates from your end as well.

Hi Neyhaul,

I applied to the coop program as well. Could you share with me what kinds of questions the interviewer asked you? It would be of much help! Most importantly, I wish you best of luck being admitted to the program!

Hey DE880608,
The questions were mostly just behavioural and situational. Why do you want to do an MBA from degroote, what are your strengths and weaknesses, tell me about a time at work when you had to resolve conflict, etc. You might not get the same questions but they will be along the same lines. Just have a couple of stories from your professional life ready to refer. Also, Thank you for the wishes, I hope you clear the interview as well.When is your slot scheduled for btw?

Hey Neyhaul,
I’m also going for Co-op. I was admitted last year but had to defer. Best of luck to all applying this year!

Hey Theambitiousone,
Can you give us your experience with the co-op interview last year and how long did it take for the adcom to get back with the results? Also, when is your interview scheduled for in this admit?

Hi Neyhaul,

Glad to help!

So for me the process took a little longer since I was initially waitlisted as Round 2 is quite heavy with applications I suppose. So I’d say it took 2 months approx for me. I applied in Jan, got waitlisted in Feb and got my offer letter in March.

Interview went ok, The basic questions, why MBA, why Degroote, and 2-3 behavioural questions as far as I can remember.

Due to extenuating circumstances, I requested a full deferral and was granted one so I’m not required to do an interview this year.

Have they told you when they will get back to you yet?

Congrats on the deferral. Haha, atleast saves you the hassle of going through the entire process again. They did tell me that the adcom should start giving out admits in mid November. Now begins the waiting game😅🥲

Haha thank you, I almost did not get one.
Yeah, it should take around 5-8 weeks from the round deadline to hear back. Best of luck!

Hi!

Do FT MBA candidates get invited for an interview too or is it just the CO-Op applicants who are invited?

Thanks for the info! I just finished mine. They told me the admission result for round one will come out around mid-late November.

Hey! That's great to hear, how was your interview experience?
