If I have completed my undergraduation from India, is it required to give TOEFL/IELTS? I have completed all my schooling and college where the medium of instruction has been English.

Hi mcgillmba,
I am an Indian male (31 Y) with MBA degree from one of the top B Schools in India. Have total of 6.5 years of experience in Supply chain in retail,Manufacturing and e retail industry.I am a Mechanical Engineering Graduate from an NIT (Good Engineering college in India). I have 7.5 (out of 10) and 2.7 (Out of 4) GPA form my Graduation and MBA respectively. I also have some extra curricular achievement like captaining a state side during my undergrad days.
Despite of decent string of scores in Prep i could get 660 in Actual GMAT and i am planning to retake on 6th December. I know my score is very low and i am not sure how well i will score next time. I want to aim for the second rounds for 3-4 schools. I have following questions
1. In worst case will 660 in GMAT help me getting into a Mcgill, assuming I have an MBA already and have 7 years of relevant managerial and leadership experience
2. What are the chances of Scholarship based on my profile.
3. Do I have to apply for Scholarships separately, If yes, then where Can I find the Link to apply
4. What are the essays and Recommendation questions for the application for Mcgill? :please

Hello! If you did your undergraduate studies entirely in English, you are not required to do the language tests! However, should your essay or interview performance not be conclusive the admissions committee reserves the right to request a language test.

Hello!
Here are the answers to your questions:

1. The application is holistic and does not depend solely on the GMAT. At 660, your score is competitive enough for the application, but slightly below our average. Our average is 680. If you did an MBA abroad before, we might not recommend you to apply for another MBA. Overall, the chances of admissions and scholarships depend on how competitive your profile is and how well it would fit into our cohort. We would recommend to email us your resume at mba.mgmt@mcgill.ca

2. Scholarships are based on merit on the same criteria as admissions but depend on all factors of the application, including essays, references and interview results, therefore we cannot assess your eligibility for scholarship without the complete application.

3. You will be automatically considered for scholarships when you apply for admissions. There is no separate application process.

4. Essay questions:

Hi,

I had raised a request to GMAC for electronically sending my Official Score Report to McGill University. As per the confirmation mail received from the test authority,the report has been made available to McGill as on 21st Jan'19. However, my 'Test Score' status is still being reflected as 'Pending' on the uApply platform.

As of now,I have shared a screenshot of the above mentioned mail with Anna. Kindly let me know if any additional input is required as this issue is delaying the completion of my application.

Thanks & Regards,
Ashima

I haven’t submitted my official transcripts yet. The applicants who have, will they be prioritised over those who haven’t submitted official transcripts ?

Hi all,
I was trying to fill in the application (the part before payment) and I noticed two options for program which are MBA (Internship) (Non-Thesis) and MBA (Non-Thesis). Can someone shed light on the difference between the two?

I intend to apply for the full time MBA program for 24 months which starts in the fall of 2020.

Thanks in advance.

The one with internship is the one you want. Granted if you change your mind after acceptance, I've been told you can fill out some paper work and they'll switch you.

Re: Ask about McGill MBA Admissions [#permalink] New post   27 Jun 2020, 11:22
Hi Anna,
I have a query regarding the work experience required for the MBA program.
At the time of application i would have more then 1 year of work experience but less then 2 but at the time of joining the MBA i.e in August i would have completed my two years of work experience. Would i be eligible to apply this year?
Secondly, I have an undergrad GPA of 3.19 from a tier 1 school in my country and a GMAT score of 730 with experience in a fortune 500 company, what would be my chance of securing an admission?
