long time lurker, first time poster...
and my guess on the director in question has the initials G.Y., and he can be found on ivey's site.
Mediah, if i were you, i wouldn't give up on Ivey. not for a second.
sure, the admissions people push people to apply...that's just because they want everyone and their sister to apply -- that way they can say they only allowed x% of all applicants into the program. it artificially inflates their #'s so they can use it in their recruitment process.
did the director (G.Y.) have some kind of ax to grind with you? seems as though he didn't even want to give you a chance. was there something you did to turn him off? sounds like no matter what your response was going to be, the director had it in for you the moment he heard you were applying. did you sleep with his boyfriend or something? perhaps you didn't fit the mould they are looking for (even though everyone else says you'd be a great fit)? from what you wrote, it looks as though you got declined the moment you asked for an inperson interview. and that's terrible.
what kind of constructive advice did ivey tell you when you didn't get accepted?
if i were you, i'd keep applying until you get in. maybe it was all just a test to measure your resilience and if you would get back up again after getting knocked down. and next time you get an interview, keep it as a skype interview and record it!
if you recorded your interview with GY, you'd be able to send that to the dean/chancellor of the university and show them how their executive director acts to potential mba students -- unprofessional and uncouth.
not only that, the biggest irony is that GY touts ivey this, ivey that, yet he himself isn't even an ivey alum!!!

Don't think it was GY. First off I've met him in person several times and he is pretty polite and I think represents the Ivey brand well. Secondly, he specifically refers to an executive director GY is only a director. I would probably do more research before jumping to conclusions of who he's speaking to. There are several EDs in the admissions office and I can think of one already that would be a bit more aggressive but don't think I'd put their initials on an open board.

can anyone tell me what is the scenario about PhD in Marketing at Ivey? what type of qualification they look for admitting students?
