Hi everyone!

Quick question - do the video essays have to be completed by the deadline or do we get some time to complete them after the deadline?

I sent an email to Rotman’s admission department a month ago and they never replied. Has anybody been successful in contacting them? And does anybody know if a 2-page resume is acceptable?

Have any of the R1 applicants received a communication from Rotman yet?
Might be early but last year some applicants got the interview invites in a duration of a few days.

Hi guys,

I submitted my application in R1. Haven't heard from them yet. But it's still early to expect a response right?

Yeah. Last year there was some news early on after the R1 deadline but it seems that’s not the case, this year.

Planning to apply to Rotman. If I submit my app towards the end of October will I have to wait until March for a decision since that's technically October? Or will I receive feedback in a few weeks after submitting?

Ok. If I may ask, are you from India or any other applicant pool? When is your interview scheduled?

I am Canadian, from Vancouver. I scheduled my interview for October 15th to allow myself some time to prepare but they gave me the option to interview almost immediately

Has anyone had their interview yet? If so, would you mind letting us know how it went and what kind of questions were asked?

Thank you

Hi, I submitted my application in August and receieved an interview invite early September. Due to sickness I missed out on the opportunity to meet the adcom member in India when they were visiting. My loss on that bit.

I completed my interview last Friday.

The interview debriefs are a good as on point as they can be. Here is my recollection of questions.

1. Walk me through your resume from post grad onwards and stress on highlights
2. Why MBA
3. What kind of innovation have you done in your past (my MBA goals were related to this)
4. Why Rotman.
5. TW you handled a conflict.
6. TW you failed.
.... I am probably forgetting a couple of questions.
Any questions for me.

The interview proceeded in a very liner manner and I probably didn't direct the interview in a direction as well as I could have. But that's my shortcoming. It lasted for about 30 mins. I am waiting for the results now.
