Few months of part time volunteering experience with an NGO.

Any thoughts here guys? i just wanted to understand whether Rotman will conduct an interview for me or would i be evaluated simply based on incoming applications quality. And how do my chances look? Thanks.

can you post your application timeline ? Like date you applied and stuff.

MB, I applied on R1 deadline date i.e Oct 15th. I had received no communication regarding any interview interim, and I just received this wait-list email yesterday. i had been following up with the adcom and they kept indicating that results will be declared prior to December 15th. Very confusing really.

Oh i get it. They had a similar candidate with slightly better profile. And they offered him/her the seat. So if that person accepts it you're SOL if not you get the seat. Or if someone with similar background is offered a seat but doesnt accept then you're the next in line. Hope it makes sense.

so its still schrodinger's box until they reach out to me I hate uncertainty.

OreoShake Mind sharing your profile and test score. Just to get an idea of their choices.

Just received an admit email from Jamie. Is that the norm ? No mention of $$

Congrats mbsingh on the admit. From what one of the first admits of this season who received a $30k scholarship told me, he received it along with the accepted mail. Hope that helps.
