Hey Guys!!

Need some info regarding the application submissions.

Does Rotman send out an acknowledgement mail after the application has been completed? My supplemental items section shows that they are yet to receive my transcripts. Would this mean that my application will not be reviewed until they have received them??

Thanks

Hi,
I didn't receive a confirmation either. But when I checked with the AdCom they confirmed that my application has been received and would be processed normally.
So, to that extent, you've got nothing to worry about.

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.

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.

Thanks a lot for your help!! I have applied to other schools in the US, but I haven’t heard from them yet, so I don’t have other offers or scholarships to use in my negotiation. What I heard when I tried to negotiate was the scholarships are very competitive this year.

I plan to try at least one more time. Prodigy has only approved USD 19k for me to attend Rotman, and I’m trying to get a loan at BMO through a stand by letter, but my bank is giving me a hard time to issue the letter. If I don’t get BMO’s loan, I might not be able to attend the program if I don’t get any scholarship.

Do you mind sharing your profile and scores ?
Also why prodigy offered only 19K for Rotman ? Do you know any reason for such a low loan amount.

Not really, just that it came out a bit ostentatious. Where are you in the application process? I see all Canadian schools for you. Let me know if I can be of any help. I have been in Canada since 2014 and just received a PR status. I can probably address immigration related questions as well.
