Hi Folks,
I am from Mumbai. Received an admit from Rotman. Just wanted to check is anyone seeking loan from BMO through SBLC route. I am finding it difficult to secure SBLC from Indian Banks. Would really help if someone can give some guidance based on their experience.

Best,
Snehal

Congrats on the admit, @Snehalpoojari

You might want to connect with the Rotman alumni/current students(via LinkedIn) to check how they went about their finances. Alternatively, you might want to check with Prodigy Finance for finance related queries.
I shall PM you the LinkedIn username of a couple of Indian students in Rotman.

Hope that helps you.

Sorry dkhanna
Am not sure if the people I know had leveraged loans from Canadian banks,
but I felt they will be better equipped to give you that information.
Shall PM their Linkedin usernames to you, if you want!

In my case, I was given exactly one month. The letter said that tuition for the 2018 academic year will not be set till July. They provided the 2017 tuition from the Rotman MBA website as a baseline. Check the website.

Guys, just submitted my app for R2.

My name is Alibek, I am from Kazakhstan.

WE 3 years, 2 in the oilfield, 1 as the senior analyst for multinational mining company.

GMAT 720 (Q51 V36), IR 8, AWA 5.0.

Had a chat yesterday via Skype with Chris Jones regarding my application, did any one of you had an opportunity to discus your app before applying? What did the admission officer say and what was the outcome of app?

Yours, Alibek

Technically, I don't need one at the moment, if I factor the moderate scholarship and use the basic budget listed on their website, adding an extra 3-5% for contingency. I plan to go through year 1 first, then see if I need a small loan in year 2 or perhaps find a TA position, so I don't have to pay interest unnecessarily.

You might wish to contact margarete.cacheino@bmo.com for further details. For the SBLC, any big branch of HDFC would be able to issue the same, though its preferable to get it done through SME branch of SBI for better rates.
