Calling all Rotman(Toronto) MBA Applicants(2019 Intake)-Class of 2021

Got an admit. Thrilled.

Application submission : 1 Oct 18
Interview Invite : 3 Oct 18
Interview : 9 Oct 18

However, was lucky to get some face time with the Admissions Director before submitting the application

Video Call ( after posting my draft resume at "Introduce yourself to Rotman") - 1 Aug 2018
In-person 1-1 meetup at Mumbai - 25 Sept 18

Advice :
1. Try to connect with adcom via "Introduce yourself to Rotman" link on Rotman website
2. Keep a track of events to schedule meetups ( I believe Rotman's coming to India in December)
3. Connect with Rotman ambassadors via "Meet a current student" link on Rotman website ( or via linkedin)

Congratulations kavyapai! Hopefully, will see you there next year.

kavyapai Did you really get an interview invite within just two days of application submission? I also submitted on 1 Oct but haven't even received an acknowledgement yet. Is anyone else in the same boat?

As mentioned, I already met Chris twice ( once on skype in August & once in Mumbai just a week before i submitted my application) , guess that helped.

Hi,

I decided to apply to Rotman towards the latter half of September. Because of less time I couldn't connect with the Admissions team. Couple of the alums suggested to apply in R1 and not wait for R2. I was able to build up a decent application. My GMAT score of 700 was on a lower side but other parts of the application made up for the gaps.

With so many candidates already getting an admit, I am not sure whether I should still consider Rotman as an option. Wanted to check if there is any point waiting till the reject mail comes or I should consider it all over already.

I'd say there's plenty of hope. People who have an admit have been interacting with Rotman officials for a while now. Just like Kavya, I've also had multiple skype sessions and in person meeting even before my application was submitted. I'd guess that brought our case to the front. That doesn't necessarily mean others won't get a fair evaluation.

did anyone receive interview call ?

I didn’t get any apllication complete mail too. For TOEFL waiver for Indian candidates, is any additional input required?

Same here........no input required for TOEFL if you have uploaded your transcript, towards the end, the medium of study must have been mentioned as English. That would suffice
