Wrote to Pina and she has advised that I will be invited to the interview shortly. There is no chance of a scholarship if I get admitted now I guess as most of it would have been disbursed.

Not true. Last year I was admitted for the first time and received $40k scholarship (the highest I believe) in May, so there are still tons of scholarships available I would imagine. Don't lose hope.

Wow, thanks for that Stevkang. That has give me a new hope. Thanks again.
Just heard from them and my interview is scheduled for tomorrow. :)

I had the same query and hence wrote to an admissions committee member. They told me to apply anyway and I did. Now awaiting interview call. From Vijay's example, I don't think all seats for "Indians" are full. I doubt there is any such thing also. It you have a good profile and scores, give it a shot. Good luck.

You've got a good score, so please apply. If you're application is strong, being an'Indian' is in no way going to affect your chances. All the very best.

Regards,

Got my interview in half an hour and have a quick question. Would it be a good idea to directly ask for a scholarship during the interview? Stating that I have an admit, but am inclined to join Desautels and would greatly appreciate any scholarship they give?

Waiting for the formal communication now!

Thanks bro, I am inclined towards Rotman although it would be more expensive.

What would have you done if you were in my shoes ?

I really need suggestions bro

Tough spot that is, really. Depends on what you want to do post your MBA I guess.
I want to get into the gaming industry, and so would have chosen McGill. But if I were inclined to find a job as a consultant, or finance guy, or a position in some corporate, then I would have to choose Rotman. French is another thing to consider, but I guess you can always find work elsewhere (Toronto, Vancouver, Ottawa.etc). McGill's fee is definitely lower than Rotman, but I guess for a brand like Rotman, you can try a bit and squeeze every ounce of finances you can find.
