Hi, I had my profile pre-assessed by the university and they recommended that I move forward with the application for MBA Fall'19. Is this a good sign of getting an admit?
Also, I have heard that after the completion of the application, the university usually takes a few days to make a decision and that there is a deadline to accept the offer. So should I purposely not complete my application so I can receive offers from other universities and then decide?
thanks in advance.
I applied for the MBA-ISP. I didn't do the pre-assessment since I already knew that I exceeded the min requirements (GPA - Work experience...etc.). The pre-assessment process itself only confirms that you meet or exceed the minimum requirements, hence would be eligible for processing by the admissions committee. But it's definitely a good sign.
Once you actually submit the application, it takes 2-3 weeks for them to process it. Once it's processed, they'll send you a Kira interview link (if you're applying for the ISP program) then 2-3 days after completing it you'll receive the offer.
After the offer is received, you have a month to pay the 3,000 CAD deposit or you lose your spot.
The earlier you apply the better, since the admission is on a rolling basis (less competition when you apply early).
Hypothetically speaking, let's say you submit all your documents today (including the references, which normally are beyond you control), you'll probably be admitted in mid to late February, thus would have until the first week of April to pay your deposit fee.
