Admission requirements section categorically mentions "4 Year Undergrad degree", so it looks like 3 year won't be accepted; however, I would still call directly to the school to confirm if there is an exception to this rule. It won't hurt to make a call if you really considering to apply to that program.

Since the deadline for R1 of daytime MBA is on Nov 15, can uCalgary work with pdf uploads/form entries of GMAT,IELTS, transcripts for the initial application submission or do they need all these documents DIRECTLY FROM SOURCE BEFORE 15th Nov?

I was just wondering is it okay for the official documents to reach the calgary office a few days after 15th Nov AND AT THE SAME TIME have my profile considered for R1 and not shifted to R2?

I don't know what is the official policy of Haskayne but generally, many schools use PDF/unofficial documents while evaluating your candidacy but require that, if accepted, the applicant presents all original documents prior to confirming his/her seat.

Hi, having applied in R2 for Daytime MBA, I just now received an email invite for KIRA video essay from Rochelle and have 2 weeks to submit it.
Turns out that this year, they've replaced the traditional skype interview with a KIRA submission. Has anybody received/submitted this for Haskayne recently?
Could you share your experience and/or questions you got?

I gave GMAT recently and got a 590..I feel I can improve to 650 perhaps with another 30 to 40 days of preparation.
R2 closes on 15/1/20. Should I apply before 15th with a 590 or should I improve my score and apply in R3 ?
My apprehension is it will get more competitive as we go into R3.

Comments ?

I think 4.5 is considered OK...so you should be fine with a 5.

You need to submit the KIRA video essays within 2 weeks from receiving the invite mail.
There are 4 video essay questions with 1 min prep time and 1:30 min delivery time and 1 timed written essay question for 8 min.
The next question doesn't automatically load but instead you have to click on next. Since you have the control to move to the next question, you can actually take a min or two break between questions, but I wouldn't take too long to avoid being automatically logged out or something. Anyway, you'd already know this if you are familiar with the KIRA platform.

The questions are all on professional areas such as why MBA, why Haskayne, leadership, teamwork, conflict resolution, time management, etc. You can prepare such questions from behavioral question banks online.

They would generally take a week or so to get back with your result as the admission decisions are on a rolling basis despite round-wise deadlines.

This helps a lot. Thank you so much.

Any idea on how much time do they take to come back with an admission decision?
