Congrats! That’s awesome. Doesn’t seem that you needed the 700+ GMAT then. What do you think was your strongest asset that got you in? By your own admission your GMAT is below the average, but you must’ve stood out in another manner to get the green light.

Congrats on the admit rkjg94!

Looking forward to meet in London!

Congratulations on the invite. Yeah, they seem to be heavily packed with applications. Don't have a number for you, but definitely more than the years gone by. If I were you, I wouldn't be perturbed by the number of applications - but simply on making sure the interview prep is on point.

rkjg94,

Congratulations Welcome to the cohort. Yes, the Ad-Com and CMS are really warm folks, and a pleasure to speak with. Looking forward to connecting with you.

Cheers.

Russthemann haha that's a good question. I am not really sure. Perhaps it was the interview combined with my extracurriculars and essays? I was actually not too positive about my chances for an admit considering the GMAT, GPA, my demographics and also the heavy application pool this year because of covid. Based on my profile, what would you say?

SurajSathya Thank you! They truly are.

bschoolhunter Thanks! Same here

Great stuff! Yeah, they are super helpful.

Did you get any comments on scholarship?

dupuis2304 I did receive a scholarship pretty much at the same time as my offer. Sorry I lost your last question about the Interview. When do you have your interview scheduled? I would say be prepared on Canadian Current affairs, the state of the industry you want to get in, the industry trends. I was asked about a good Case Method topic for class based on what I know about the state of the economy. Have some well thought out questions ready for the interviewer (something you couldn't figure out based on your research and chats with current students or alumni). Normal behavioral questions. Keep 3 to 4 examples of success and failure in your professional life (preferred) ready and be prepared to frame those examples in a way that suits the question. For example, one question I got was "When was a time you made a decision and then new information came to light. What did you do? how did you feel?". Another one was "Tell me about a time when you faced a conflict, how did you manage the situation. What did you do to resolve it?". Don't just answer the questions in a straightforward way without portraying what you learn't from it and what could have been done better. A good way to frame these answers is 1) Context/background 2) Problem/Issue 3) Solution 4) Learnings. Lastly, treat it like a *formal* conversation and be comfortable. Don't be scared to ask for a moment to think about your answers if something does't pop up in your head immediately. Remember, your answers don't necessarily have to have an amazing super positive outcome. You can fail, but be sure to articulate what you learn't from it.
