Karr32, Thanks for starting the thread for 2020. You now have a special school moderator rank. :)

Good luck to you and all the others who are applying this year. Introduce yourself to fellow applicants; Share your profiles, post MBA ambitions, objectives for doing MBA, and choosing Rotman. It will make you do some introspection into your profile and career so far, which will ultimately help in forming a compelling story to tell adcom.

Essay: Our admitted students stand out by doing interesting things with their personal and professional lives — something we describe as the ‘spike factor’; what are the things that you have done in your life that demonstrate Passion/ Grit/ Resilience/ Innovation/ Drive/ Ambition and more? This can cross all or any aspects of life outside of work – hobbies, volunteerism, awards, entrepreneurial ventures, sports and the arts. We believe that exposure to a rich diversity of viewpoints makes for a superior learning experience, and pride ourselves on building a diverse class of exceptional individuals who will go on to make the School proud as professionals and alumni.
Please upload 1-3 of your 'spikiest' pictures and use the essay to tell us why you have chosen these particular images to illustrate your ‘spike factor’ (use up to 1000 words).
* Note: Your photos must be uploaded as a single PDF.

Reflection Question: List 3-5 attributes or characteristics that best describe you. (5 words)

Required video interview (2 questions) with a new timed written response component (10 minutes in length).

Hi. You can hop over to the decision tracker page to get some stats on how many are applying etc. As of now, I see around 38 applicants are applying in R1 or earlier to Rotman.

Hi Guys,

I faced a problem while submitting my application. I didnt get any prompt to submit the reflection essay (The interface is showing my application status as complete) . Did anyone else also face the same issue? I have contacted the adcom but havent received any replies.

Is it only me or is Rotman very unresponsive to mails and even on interview invites. Are people getting interview invites, or is it just the 1 mentioned on the forum?

There is only one interview invite as of now. You can also head over to the Rotman's decision tracker get the latest decision updates in the following link

Did you receive any response from them? If the issue still persists, try contacting them on a business day. I don't see any others reporting this problem, so maybe it's intermittent but do reach out to them.

Even I was facing an issue with my application. Some IT issue that prevented me from uploading documents in the supplementary section. After dropping them mails for 2 weeks, to this day I have not received a single response and neither has the issue resolved. Ended up creating a completely new account, just so that I could submit my application. Even tried calling them, and every time it goes into voice mail. Either they have again got too many applications in EA and now they don't have time to respond or they are always this unresponsive. Not sure whats wrong

I don't like the sound of that. What surprises me the most is that all of the calls made were going to voice mails. Did you try calling them during working hours?

Yeah!, I tried everyday last week, at different intervals from 9:00am EST to 4:00pm EST, voicemail every time. I even dropped in voice mails to that number, no response back. I even mailed and chased up on it everyday. To this day I have not got even an acknowledgement from their end if they are even looking in to the issue. Their helpline number answers, but they always tell me "admission will respond within 72 hours.. but given its admission season they must be packed up. So be patient." Even now, I feel leaving the one person above (which i feel might be a mistake when the person updated his application on tracker) no body has received an invite for interview

Do you know if Rotman has student ambassadors? Did you try connecting with them?

Hi, Me neither. after looking for it high and low, I submitted the application anyway.
I will write to the Adcom next few weeks to see if it was glitch with application or this is how the essay is this year!
