Hey guys! Realized that there wasn't a thread for the 2021 intake for the full-time Ivey MBA program. Submitted my application on the 5th of January 2020. R1 Deadline was Jan 6th. Sharing future deadlines for the others: Application Round Deadline Round 1 January 6, 2020 Round 2 April 6, 2020 Round 3 July 13, 2020 Round 4* September 21, 2020 Round 5 November 9, 2020 Round 6 January 4, 2021 Sharing my feedback on the application process: Video Essay - Pretty straightforward. You have unlimited attempts at the practice questions. You get 2 questions randomly out of a pool of about 150 questions. My questions were - "What is the one thing about yourself that you haven't shared with us in the application" and "What would you do if a team member stopped responding to your calls? How would you respond to that?" The written essays seemed simple but it is a challenge to crisp this out to 250 words. You'll really know how little 250 words is, when you're writing this. If you've done your schooling and under graduation in English - PLEASE WRITE THE ELPT NOTE. I've seen many folks writing IELTS Academic/TOEFL for this. You don't have to if you can convince them that English has been your mode of communication during both academia and professional journies. Would love to hear about interview invites/dates etc from the others applying for this intake.

Hi

Can someone help me understand if Toefl or IELTs is required for first round of application for Indian students as well. (Medium of learning was English).

If you had your classes in English at one of the institutions that you had the degree from, you are not required to submit a language certificate. However, as per your visa requirements, you need to submit a language certificate prior to your Canadian student visa application.

If your learning institution and classes were in English, you shouldn't need any other English exam. To be 100% sure about it, you should try to schedule a call with Ivey or send a message, they are great in supporting applicants.

My studies were in Spanish, so I was required to submit my English test scores (I did TOEFL).

Best of luck!

Did anyone else notice that the Question 2 in Ivey Application has changed

It was showing me
Essay 2. What is the most important issue that you’ve ever changed your mind about?
(250 word limit)

and now when I logged in this week it shows me
Tell us about a challenge you have faced in your life, and what lessons you learned from it.
(250 word limit)

What do I do, I was about to submit my application tonight when I suddenly noticed this change?

Please guide

Have you been in contact with the admissions team at Ivey? I've found they are very responsive and your question is probably best to be asked directly to them they will give you the answer you need.

Hoping for some good news soon

And most anxious I have ever been in last many months.

For me, it took about a week. I took my interview on Aug 13th, and received the call (and email) on the 19th.

If you're applying for the class of 2023, I suppose it might take bit longer because they could still be interviewing a few Canadian applicants for the class of 2022.

Good luck!

I haven't heard back from them. I'm in contact with one of the adcom, she told me right now they are looking at 2021 class, in a week or two they will get back to me. So maybe anytime in next 10 day I should be hearing back from them.
But if u are having other schools processes also running at the same time you can drop them a mail to fast-track your case. If you don't hear back from them in 2 weeks after the interview.

Hi Guys,

Just want a piece of information, how do they contact about the application status after the interview. Do they setup a call to discuss about the rejection or approval. Or do they send a rejection mail and setup a call if you are selected?

I'm asking this question because my Adcom has asked for a time to discuss the application. She didn't say if I'm selected or rejected.

Any leads will definitely be helpful.

Thanks,

I couldn't know for sure, but I just received a call from an unknown number to receive news of acceptance. I do know that other schools schedule a call, and it could depend on the adcom that is working in your case.

Good luck!

Not only after I got the call of acceptance. I cannot say if it works the same way for everyone, there are more than one person in recruiting, so each person might have their own method

Thanks, dupuis2304. That day I received good news from Adcom. I also got accepted by Ivey for 2022 intake and I'm definitely going for it. I guess you have decided to choose Ivey over other schools.

Congratulations on the admit!
That's correct, I decided to choose Ivey over Rotman and Smith. Not to say it was an easy decision, they're both great schools as well, but I decided that Ivey made more sense for my style of learning and what I'm looking for.
Are you going for the 2022 Intake? Either way, happy to connect and discuss further doubts of yours, I'm already in London doing quarantine

Hi dupuis2304, congratulations on the admit! Could you share more about why you decided to choose Ivey over Rotman? I haven't secured an offer yet, but I would just like to be prepared to make the decision once they come. Thanks!
