25 more days left... 15th Dec is the Decision date.
A situation of something like only 8-10 days left is when I would say game might be over with at least another hope of Waitlisting and then again being invited.
Not sure if Rotman waitlists people without an interview.

As an applicant, I only know the essay questions. Not sure about recommendation ones.
Why do you need them?

Here you go my friend:

How long have you known the applicant and in what capacity?

List 3-5 attributes or characteristics that best describe the candidate(single words only, no sentences please)*

Of the qualities listed above, in which areas have the applicant distinguished himself/herself most?

What would you consider the applicant's primary area for improvement or growth?

How would you rate the applicant's potential for becoming a successful business leader?

Overall Recommendation

Congrats Buddy. Received any scholarship?

Thanks!! I didn’t, but I’ll try to negotiate something. Has anyone had the experience of negotiating a Scholarship with Rotman? I would appreciate if you could share how it went.

It has been awfully quiet! Hope lots of Indians receive interview admits
before Rotman touches down in India!

Could you please tell me the date when Rotman reps are coming to India?

deadline is the 15th of December for Round 1 results. Now if one has not even been invited for interview atleast a couple of weeks before that, it seems bleak to me.

Their schedule is on their website. Just google 'admission events rotman mba' and the first link will give you their entire schedule.

But so far... No one from India has received interview invites right? From round 1

We do not know that. It is possible that an indian who does not post on this forum has received an invite.

I would say interviews have to be scheduled before the end of the month in order for Rotman to have some time to review and send results. Maybe there is a slight hope.

But I'm thinking that if they're visiting Mumbai on 26th, there are just five days to go... That's too short a notice for candidates typically, isn't it?

I spoke to a current student who told me she negotiated, but she had another offer from a strong program. I don't know which was the other school. I contemplated negotiating for a bigger scholarship, but since I decided earlier to limit how many schools I applied to, I didn't really have a good reason to ask for more beyond "I want more". I spoke to a consultant about this, and his suggestion was to talk about financial hardship. For me, that would have been a lie as I'd saved quite a bit

Hopefully others can chime in on whether they negotiated.
