For the Kira video essay, is it overkill to wear a suit? Should I just stick with a long sleeves and tie combo?

Thanks!

Hi EduSimplified I am already in that group since I was admitted for jan intake :)

Narenn sure. Always happy to help. Hit me up if someone has a particular query.

In general, I would say don't just use the same essay that you might have used for another school. Highlight 2-3 aspects of the Schulich MBA that interest you. Do state your goals (short-term and long-term. 3-4 sentences would do to explain them). Since it's 350 words, be sure to highlight your strengths from you current experience, what you expect to gain (beyond just the goals), what your goals are and how Schulich should help you get there and a nice conclusion to close the essay. It's just 350 words.

As for video essays, be relaxed and speak slowly. There's also a written component which is pretty simple. Don't focus on writing more just be sure that the question asked is addressed well even if you are able to write a few sentences. This component is only to see your communication skills.

Interviews are generally done via Skype. They are conducted to judge your fit mainly. Do research the program well and speak to Alumni. Have 2-3 good questions in mind to ask adcom. Lastly, dress professionally. There are going to be few bomber questions but that is just to see how you respond on feet. Take a few seconds and then answer (i know its easier said than done lol).

Good luck to all applicants !!

If you are an Indian candidate, then your application is not on rolling basis and will get reviewed post application deadline- i.e. 30th Nov. Hence the delay
