Use this platform to know each-other, build network, exchange ideas/information, discuss application strategies, share interview/school visit experiences, and boost one-another's morale to face the tough admission process. Good luck to all for an awesome application season! Essays Essay 1 (500 Word Maximum)* Please describe why you are pursuing an MBA? Why Rotman? Why now? Reflection Question (3-5 word maximum)* List 3-5 attributes or characteristics that best describe you. Limit response to 50 characters. Application Deadlines Round 1: October 16, 2017 (Decision by December 15, 2017) Round 2: January 8, 2018 (Decision by March 2, 2018) Round 3: February 26, 2018 (Decision by April 20, 2018) Round 4: April 16, 2018 (Decision by May 25, 2018) Round 5: May 21, 2018 (Decision by June 22, 2018) Link to Rotman Application Tracker : rotman-toronto-218/app-tracker.html

I believe they will reply by the deadline stipulated on their website even for applicants who were not shortlisted for an interview. The deadline is for the admit decisions. If you haven't received an interview invite till then, it's a definite 'denied without interview'.

My friend and I (Indian Male) both submitted on Jan 8 and haven't heard back from them yet. I've kinda lost hope now.

Do they reply / revet via mail even if the application is not being considered for interview call ?? Any idea??

Hi everyone. Does rotman expect you to send original transcripts when you apply? I did not find an option to upload scanned copies of transcripts. Or am I missing something

Copying from the reply by another applicant(answered in this thread previously)

An unofficial scan copy would do at the application stage, but they will need your
official transcript eventually, or they would only give you a conditional offer.

Hope this helps you. You will find a lot of questions answered in this thread itself.

Just had my interview with Chris Jones over Skype. It was a very cordial and to-the-point conversation. These were the questions asked:

1. Why MBA, short-term goals, why Rotman, why Canada?
2. Walk me through your resume, starting post-university
3. If you had to teach the Rotman class something - what would it be, what would the class look like?
4. Give an example of professional networking
5. How would you want to be remembered in Rotman once you graduate
6. What according to you is the biggest impact you have had on an organization
7. Tell me about a situation when you wanted something so bad, that you were unstoppable
8. If there was one question you wanted me to ask you, what would the question - and the answer - be
9. Any questions you have for them

All covered in exactly 30 minutes

I submitted my application on round 2 deadline day. Can I expect an interview invite if I haven't received one yet?

Are there any Indians who submitted their app around the same time and have got an interview invite?

A number of us are waiting. Assuming they are able to ascertain candidacy in about 1-2 weeks, interview invites can keep flowing out till mid-February. I have kinda lost hope though :/
