Calling Sauder Class of 2017 (Starting 2016) - Admitted Students

Question

This is a thread for linking all Admitted students of Sauder MBA Class of 2017 (commencing in 2016). Those who receive confirmed admits may kindly ping here and share thoughts/ tips/ views/ advice for the rest, as also get to know others in the class. Anybody admitted but not intending to join may also kindly update! I have not yet been interviewed, but since the interviews have started and some admits handed out, thought it may be time for this thread! Good luck!

Hi Vilji

Interview was very general.
Questions like:
1) walk through resume, why change the company and preferred field of work.
2) Why Sauder, What you bring to the class, what are your expectations from MBA.
3) Why MBA, Why Now

It's very important to be thorough with your essays and be sure about your answers.
I hope it helps.
All d best

A question to all those who got their admit decisions a while back, how were you notified of the scholarships please? Did you get it as part of the admit package which was mailed?

VijayG6387 · Answer

Have written to them asking about scholarship. Awaiting a response.

VijayG6387 · Answer

Hey guys.. Now that you are admitted into Sauder..Congrats, first of all...
Please share with us the career prospects for NON-IT background admits in Vancouver,if anyone has any idea.. Further, Sauder doesn't provide a comprehensive employment report... companies listed in the website are also very few compared to other reputed universities of Canada...So what are your expectations from the MBA program?
