I submitted my application on the 14th of Jan. But unlike some of you'll, I never got a mail stating that my file had been picked up for review. Just got a mail yesterday about an interview scheduled for the 25th of Jan. Let's see how it goes.

My interviewer was Ms. Carine. It lasted for about an hour(she mentioned at the start of the interview itself that it would take around 45 mins). It was easy going and more of an conversation.
Questions were typically what u expect...why mba, why now, what u do in your present profession and your profile, strengths, weakness, ideal leader, what u bring to the table(i.e. your USP), etc.(though don't remember the order of questions but these were most of it).
Just be yourself and ensure that you have covered your basis with respect to the essays and CV, and believe me...they go through it diligently and would know those things about u before the interview.

Again...best of luck for the same.

Completed all the components of my application on 12th of January, had have received a confirmation only yesterday that it is complete and has been picked up for review. I wish they don't take 2 more weeks to invite me for an interview.

Desautels is very fast...if it is up for review..expect response within a weeks time itself!!!

Thank you Harsit, for the boost. Just that I'd like to see if it turns out good before I commit to Schulich. :)

Hey!

You can write to McGill in case the last date for Schulich is not far. They'll be able to take up your application early in case they have availability. I was explicitly asked whether I have any other offers so that they can expedite my case. Good luck!

Hey Kunal, thank you for that piece of advice. Could you help me with the email that I could write to? I'm asking as I am not able to find it and have received a communication in my application page that we should be contacting them through the inbuilt messaging service. I did try that for a couple of other questions and assistance, but have not received any response for them as yet.

Normally they give you 3 weeks if I remember correctly. But yeah, it should say on the portal.

If my guess is correct, it would be around 40k, which is half the tuition.
