My Tips for Alberta Fanciers
Alright, Nezdem applied to Alberta, then got invited for the video interview. The video interview was done through another firm for Alberta School of Business. Then got the bad news. We regret ...
I briefly got over the bad news. But I wanted to at least confirm my shortcomings, so I requested for that.
I was given what looked like a frank reply, which borders on my not-enough-details in the video interview responses and... lack of details in the recommendation from my boss!. I now know why they send assassins to kill people :-). I wouldnt flinch on my boss right when i got the email.

I know one question in the video interview that caught me offguard- (How's your personal accountabilty? Something like that on Personal Accountability). I almost drew blank.
You might want to google 1000 interview questions and at least know what they all mean before going to Alberta video interview so you would be top notch because they have too many qualified applicants than they can take. I really did my home work but was a bit surprised still.

You are in the wrong thread. This is for students who entered the university in 2016. You can see the application deadlines here:
https://www.ualberta.ca/business/progra ... /deadlines
You admission depends entirely upon your application!

Is there anyone in the stage post the sending of your original transcripts. My original transcripts reached the University on Feb 21. But still there is no update or reply from their side.

Hello chinmay,
I think you should call chris and have a talk.But i guess you would prefer desautels over alberta any day.I got a mail from chris saying that my admission to alberta has been recommended to the faculty of graduate studies and i should be getting an official letter soon.


Hi Manoj,

Got a feedback from Chris today. Made sense.

Hello Chinmay,

There were some strong aspects to your application, along with some areas of concern. The biggest concern our admission committee had with your application was overall fit. The two areas you are interested in entering (Investment Banking and Asset Management) are very difficult areas to enter, especially for individuals that don't have Canadian experience in these areas. Alberta (Edmonton and Calgary) is not a hotbed for these types of positions. I don't know what other schools you are considering, but I would suggest targeting schools around Toronto if you are looking to study in Canada.

Thanks,
Chris Lynch


Hi desaichinmay22,

I have a similar background (IB + PE). Did you get through the Alberta program? Is this school really that skeptical about hiring people from an IB background since Calgary is a hot bed for Energy & Natural Resources IB. Any advice for me, although i recently submitted my application.
