Don't lose hope. It's not over until it's over.

P.S - McGill admission committee is pretty fast though.

Dont worry, you might get in given ur gmat score. Congrats on ISB. i am a hedge fund manager with 6.5 yrs exp in Investment Management. I submitted my GRE instead of GMAT. i got a letter which said something they got too many applications this time, etc etc.. My guess in a class of 80, they don't want too many indians...already 10 plus indians have accepted their admit from mcgill.

Y mcgill over ISB?

Thanks! Let's hope that happens. McGill over ISB will be a decision post getting an admit (basis scholarship :-) )
I applied because I wanted to work internationally for sometime. Canada has a friendly work atmosphere with good options in different industries.

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.


Hey Vijay..received any updates?

None at all mate. Has been awfully silent. Just got a confirmation two weeks that ago that my application is complete (when in fact I had completed it a week prior to that).

Same - I got a mail a week back saying that my application is complete but it was completed on 18th Jan.
I do not know where is this leading.
Good luck guys.

I think McGill's bar to admit Indian students is a GMAT of over 730 unless he or she is from a non traditional background or has something really special going on.....

Spent a semester at Desautels as an undergrad exchange student. Good luck everyone. McGill and Montreal are such a charm.

can you share your application timeline?
when you submitted?
when it was picked up for review?
when the interview call came?

Just want to get an idea in the current round.

Hi dear,

i applied on 15th Jan but my application was really completed on 22nd Jan
i don't know when exactly it was picked up for review but yesterday morning i sent them an email just to check on where my application was standing.
And they answered me that i will be contacted shortly for interview and that was the case some hours later.

I will let you know the outcome

I submitted my application on 8th of Dec 2015 and got an interview call for 8th of Jan 2016. It was good and my interviewee was Marie-Eve Roy. Took about 30 to 40 minutes. Had a friendly conversation and clear and crisp answers to all her questions. She said the reply would be in 1 or 2 weeks. My profile is:

Undergrad: From Pune, India with First Class
Work Ex: 2+
GMAT: 670
IELTS: 8.0

Can anyone suggest what are my chances of getting a call letter from them ? And how long does it take to get a reply ?

utsavsharma19 did get any feedback from them?
