i've never had a call like that, probably because i live in toronto and just went into the office. but i've had a pre-application meeting in person, and if the call is anything like it, you can expect it to be laid-back and very informal. essentially, you're right, it's for them to know more about you, why you want to do an MBA, and why you want to do it at rotman. you might have to prepare a resume or something. did she ask for one? there's also a lot of time for you to ask them questions about the school so good on you to have questions up front.
but I think you could still just email admissions about those questions or just air them out here. Michael Moses from the admissions team is on here frequently.
Hi Jiggly,
Thanks for the quick response!
Yes she did ask for my resume, which is what I am worried about as its not MBA application ready (if that makes sense), definitely not Rotman resume template. So I have asked for a day before I submit it.
So you would suggest me not bombarding Lynda with questions now?
Maybe I can limit them for a few, I was actually hoping for the applications to open, filling that in would reveal/expose many doubts in general. And yes, maybe I can wait for mr Moses here in these forums before asking her the queries.
she'll understand that it's not going to be application ready, but i think as long as you have the gist of the information that you want to convey, it will be fine. she'll understand that you will have a final version when you apply, so i would go ahead with it. plus, the rotman template is just formatting, and content recommendations.
how many questions do you have? like i said, feel free to ask them here and see what we can do. i'm not the only rotmanite on these boards, i know a few who still lurk. i think if it's questions specific to the application, any one of us who have applied would be able to answer, even incoming students...
