Got a mail last week stating that my application had been reviewed and sent forward to Adcom for a decision to be made. Still haven’t got an update. Any idea how long they take for this ?

Hi,

I too got this mail last week stating that my application had been reviewed and sent to Adcom for a decision to be made. Have not got anything after that. Not sure how much time will they take to release the final decision

Also, I want to know the exact date when classes start. Do the classes start on 1st May for ALL international students or does it depend on the number of foundation courses you have been asked to do? I believe the core MBA classes begin in September.
Any help on this pls.

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I plan on applying to the MBTI program at Ryerson for the fall 2018 start. I know I'm a little early but that's never a bad thing! I had some questions hopefully I can get some answers to!

1) For my references is it a reference letter is it a questionnaire or an actual letter. If it is a questionnaire are questions available online (I know Rotman does).

2) I am aiming for 550-600 on the gmat at least. I know that's average but I'm being realistic and it fulfils the minimum requirement. Is this is a big deal if my score is in the minimum range of 550?

3) I'm looking into MBTI because I know the tech sector is growing and there's lots of money to be made. The thing is I'm not an IT guy so does that really matter?

Thanks for all the help in advance!

Nothing Yet. The last mail I received was about 18 days back and it only said that my application had been forwarded to the program admissions committee for final decision. No communication since then.
I guess they have virtually ruled out any international students as the classes start in May 1st week and getting the Visa in such a short time span would be really tough.
Not sure why there is such a big delay in releasing decisions!

Has anyone reached out to the recruitment team to get a status on when they'll be releasing the decisions for candidates who applied before the Jan 26 deadline? The last mail I got was 16- 18 days back stating my file has been forwarded for review. I reached out to the recruitment team last weekend and they pretty much said the same thing and told that they'll get back shortly. With the program starting in May for international students, I'm pretty worried about the loan and student visa processing.

I assume they will respond before March end.
They must be aware of VISA process and all. All students without Business background are supposed to start from May 1 2018.
April 28 is the orientation date.!!

I have received an offer letter from Ted Rogers Ryerson for MBA and am awaiting offer letter from Alberta Business School (My application has been forwarded to the FGSR). I have a deadline to accept offer from Ted Rogers by 23rd March 2018. I have the following concerns:
1. If I were to compare both the above mentioned business schools, which stands better in respect to employment opportunities in the consulting domain after graduation? Ted Rogers being in Toronto and Alberta Business School being in Edmonton, Alberta. Overall, which has better prospects including the location?
2. Ted Rogers has 16 month FT MBA course whereas Alberta Business School has 20 months FT MBA course. How does length of course make a difference and does the length of study really matter in respect to my first concern?
3. Lastly, do companies really look at which business school have I graduated from, if I am looking for internships or FT work after study.

(I have 5 years of experience in consulting and automation)

Hi,

Did you get the admission offer recently, like in the last week or so? When did you apply?

Sorry this is not related to your query, but just wanted to know as I'm still waiting for a decision on my application after it was forwarded to Program admissions committee.

Thanks!

This response is purely based on what people told me, specially my friends already in Canada with an MBA. There are lot of pros and cons in going to Alberta or even Ryerson. Employment opportunities depend on lot of factors being in Toronto is a great advantage but you need to network well in Canada for serious consulting jobs. If you want some job in Canada you’ll make it at Ryerson but it’s your choice what to accept. Alberta has a strong alumni, it’s a much older program than Ted Rogers so you could literally network across Canada for jobs. With Ryerson I doubt if you’ll find anyone outside of Ontario on the alumni. Also, you may find UAlberta alumni in senior management levels CEOs and CFOs in big consulting firms, TRSM is a new program alumni would have hardly got into such positions in such firms unless they are entrepreneurs.

Also, if your looking to specialise in technology related fields Ryerson is better, since it’s structure is very aligned to this. If your interest is in finance , marketing or international business, Ryerson might not be the best place.

Alberta pnp is a little less competitive than Ontario, so PR process would be easier in Alberta.

Lastly, based on what my friends studying in tier 2 MBAs in Canada have told, ranking matter but Ryerson is well known and reputed in Toronto it shouldn’t be a problem to apply for jobs in Toronto, but outside Toronto it might not be known well as they are hardly featured in B school rankings.

Hi,
I have applied to MBA MTI program in february 1st week and i still have not heard anything from the university. Has anyone got any reply for MBA MTI program from ted rogers?
If yes, then please tell me about your gmat score and profile? and within how many days of your application did u hear back from the university?
I might have to join in May but i have not heard from the university so i think i will not be able to complete the VISA process.
Please help and share your thoughts on this
Thank you.
