Hi there 
I'm seeking some guidance on the eligibility of my application for Rotman 2019 MBA Intake; hoping to apply for R2.
-Female with engineering degree from accredited Canadian University (3.3 final year GPA)
-Acquired P.Eng designation last year after working in the energy sector for 4 years
-Current experience involves technical conceptual design as well as value engineering through cost-benefit analysis
-Hoping to leverage MBA in order to transition more into a business development role
-Extra Curricular: Mentorship program through company for young engineers, yoga, fitness
Taking GMAT exam soon; what is an acceptable score I should aim for? I know average for 2016 is around 662 - should I aim for around there or higher with my lower GPA?
Any other attributes that would strengthen my application?
As well - depending on how well I do on my GMAT (if 700+), would i be qualified to apply to top US schools?
Thanks all for any feedback!

Hi there!
You are definitely eligible based on the basics of your profile...sounds like a good point in your career to get your MBA. Since you are just slightly below the average GPA (3.4), yes, I would try to be just slightly above the average GMAT (670-680).
Other possible areas to improve (you don't need to respond to these questions, they are just to get you thinking )...
-have you been promoted?
-do you have good leadership examples on the job?
-can you take a leadership role in the mentorship program?
-have you had any international exposure?
-have you had any exposure to BD activities/teams given your desired post-MBA role?
If you get a score above 700, yes I think you could give some US schools a shot, though it depends on how much above 700. For top 10 US programs, you'd really need to be closer to 730, but with a score around 700 or just above, you could give schools like Ross/Cornell/Duke/Texas a shot.
Good luck, and keep us posted if we can help with anything else!
