Congratulations

Mind sharing your profile and test score ?

Thank you. Here is my profile:

Domestic applicant
GMAT: 660
GPA: 3.72
4 years of work experience (all in healthcare)

People are trying not to freak out!

Had my interview earlier. Some questions were really interesting/unexpected, eg.
- what will be your legacy at Rotman
- how did you come to learn about Rotman (Part of me wonders why they asked this. Do they think its weird I'm applying? I'm trying not to read too much into things)
- most measurable impact in your career
- walk through resume and explain why you made the choices you did
- tell me about a time you used networking
- what class would you teach, teach it in 2 minutes
- where else are you applying

Some others I can't recall. I liked my interviewer and really hope the feeling was mutual

My advice for potential interviewees: overprepare And make sure you have questions at the end to ask.

Wow.. Thanks for the detailed response.
Hope you get in
Btw, had you over prepared for the interview?

I don't know if I overprepared, I do think I prepared a lot for questions I wasn't asked. I don't think they asked me more than 1-2 questions I had been expecting. Time will tell whether it was good enough.

Hi all! Just a general tip from me, as someone who has now come to the end of the process with Rotman...if you're looking for tips on the application process or interview tips then please take the time to review every page on this forum topic!! It may seem daunting but the information shared by others proved invaluable for me, especially during the interview process. Scan through each page and you may surprise yourself at what you find! Depending on what stage you're at in the whole process, there'll be people who potentially have already completed a phase before you and have already shared their experience! This would obviously then help you as you go along.

With this in mind, I second Aaliyah537's point to overprepare e.g. through each post by someone who has gone through the interview process, I'm sure you'll be able to get an idea of what sort of questions you'll face once you reach interview day.

Just a personal note to Aaliyah537 and KPMBA. Thank you both for sharing your prior experiences on here! They were pivotal as I went through the application process and how I prepared in my run up to the interview!

Oh wow, did you get in already? If so, congratulations!!!

Thanks Aaliyah537! Found out last week Thursday!

Admins, due to some weird issue, still unable to update my status. Request if it could be updated to Admitted with scholarship as of 16 Oct please

I didn't receive any email also. May be there will release results soon.

From what I have been hearing, their decision/interview invite release is very random.

Few people who were interviewed were given their decisions in as less as 7 days
and some have been waiting for a decision for as long as a month and a half!

The select few have been advised to wait till 15th of December(their official decision release date)
