Hi emeari

When did you try the below? Currently Ivey's deadline for International students has passed. That might be a reason for the below message appearing.

In any case feel free to reach out to the adcoms for a profile review. You will be surprised by the in-depth feedback they provide on your profile.

Good luck!

Hi all,
Has anyone taken this quiz and gotten a positive result? I keep getting this message and I'm wondering what their idea of a "good candidate" is...


I inputted the following responses:
First Name: Jane
Last Name: Doe
Are you an international applicant? Y
How many years of post-graduation work experience do you have? 2-5 years
Do you have an undergraduate degree? Yes, or currently working on one
Have you taken the GMAT? Yes
What was your GMAT score? 690
Is English your primary language? Yes

Are you currently employed? Yes
What is your job title? Engineer
What company do you work for? RBC

Please rate your experience in the following areas (1= none, 5= a lot)
Working in teams or large groups: 4
Building relationships with clients, both internal and external: 4
Taking on leadership roles: 5
Involvement in extra-curricular activities or volunteer work: 4
Professional or volunteer work in international contexts: 4
Do you have any professional designations? None

How would you best describe your career objectives? I want to change organizations or industries
Why do you want to pursue your master's degree? To build my skill-set and business knowledge

What is your email address. Entered.


!!FINAL RESULT!! "You do not appear to be a good candidate for any of our master's programs at this time."

Can someone help me understand what kind of super-candidate this program is looking for? (I originally entered my real name & company but for the purpose of privacy, I've changed those to generic names) Completely puzzled at this result...
