Folks, did any of you who were interviewed this week (anytime from 22nd Feb 2016) get an admit or mail regarding your decision?
I was interviewed on Feb 22nd 2016 and still no reply on my decision. But Lynda had mentioned that I will hear from Rotman on Friday.

I was waitlisted without interview in Round 1. was told that they will review my profile after 15th Feb, but did not get an interview invite. And now, I am sure its a ding since today is the R2 decision date.

I was atleast expecting an interview

I think 15th was deposit due date for R1 guys and hence the date. I sent them couple of updates as well but to no luck! All the best to you. It's a tough thing to deal with

I was interviewed on Thursday by Tara. Still waiting! I received the reply same as you. All the best buddy!
!

I interviewed last Wednesday, and received a call yesterday (which I missed); I was able to get them to call me back today and was given the good news. So, I would say they were making calls this week as early as Tuesday, if not Monday for those who interviewed early to mid-week last week. Best of luck to you guys :-D

[/quote]

hi, can you tell me from which number you received a call. I got it from +1637978 which I missed. I'm not sure if it's from Rotman.[/quote]

I received the call from a 416 number I believe (Canada Area Code, that is). I'm in Canada though - not sure how they handle international calls.

Got my offer this week!

Does anyone know how long admits have to pay their deposit?

Also, is an offer 100% secure? I have an interview tomorrow at a school I would not pick over Rotman, but wonder if instead of withdrawing, I should not withdraw and do the interview as an insurance policy. Any insight? I don't think Rotman can rescind, but I want to be sure.

Congrats. You have a month from when you got your offer. Your offer is only secured after you have paid the confirmation deposit within the deadline you are given.

Has anyone who has received an admission decision from Rotman for R2 also applied to US schools? The deadline to pay the "sizeable" enrollment deposit is days before even the first of the US schools start to send out admission decisions. Do you think this is deliberate by Rotman or is the Canadian school schedule just that different from the US school schedule. How are applicants expected to compare offers and make the best decision for them, I wonder? Thoughts?

Rotman is my safety school and it's just inconvenient that they replied so early. I'm applying to one other school in the US for R2 and 2 others for R3. I'd rather risk losing the offer than pay the huge deposit at a school I probably wouldn't attend (hopefully).

I begged for an extension on the deposit deadline and it was granted after several back and forth emails about how I'll be taking someone's spot if I don't attend. I call BS. Rotman has several rounds after March and a waitpool of amazing candidates. They'll be just fine.

So how long do you have till you have to pay the deposit to Rotman?

Here's hoping you get into Stanford so that you can vacate a spot for us the wait listed candidates! :-D

Guys

I was completing my application and I would like to know about the field "Work Experience" where it asks you to fill the "bonus" that you have received from the work place. I have written my annual salary along with the bonus and have left the bonus column empty. Is that fine ?

Thank You.
