Hi all,
Has anyone taken this quiz and gotten a positive result? I keep getting this message and I'm wondering what their idea of a "good candidate" is...
I inputted the following responses:
First Name: Jane
Last Name: Doe
Are you an international applicant? Y
How many years of post-graduation work experience do you have? 2-5 years
Do you have an undergraduate degree? Yes, or currently working on one
Have you taken the GMAT? Yes
What was your GMAT score? 690
Is English your primary language? Yes
Are you currently employed? Yes
What is your job title? Engineer
What company do you work for? RBC
Please rate your experience in the following areas (1= none, 5= a lot)
Working in teams or large groups: 4
Building relationships with clients, both internal and external: 4
Taking on leadership roles: 5
Involvement in extra-curricular activities or volunteer work: 4
Professional or volunteer work in international contexts: 4
Do you have any professional designations? None
How would you best describe your career objectives? I want to change organizations or industries
Why do you want to pursue your master's degree? To build my skill-set and business knowledge
What is your email address. Entered.
!!FINAL RESULT!! "You do not appear to be a good candidate for any of our master's programs at this time."
Can someone help me understand what kind of super-candidate this program is looking for? (I originally entered my real name & company but for the purpose of privacy, I've changed those to generic names) Completely puzzled at this result...

I remember taking this assessment and getting the same result. I believe it changed when I answered "no" to the international student question.
In any case, I wouldn't go by the results of the assessment tool. My advice is to reach out to the admissions team and set up a pre-application chat with one of them. It's a fantastic group of people and I'm sure you will enjoy them getting to know you better. My best to you!

I think this is just bot taking in quantitative input and giving output where it does not even take into consideration many other factors, say, recommendations or international experiences or your story. And, so, while it can be the best bot in the market now but still you can not take its results final or accord to it a lot of importance especially where the whole actual process involves only human relationships and reasoning. You may post your profile here on the platform to get good insights and may also reach out to admission team. You may also book a session here to get your profile evaluated by us.

Hi emeari
When did you try the below? Currently Ivey's deadline for International students has passed. That might be a reason for the below message appearing.
In any case feel free to reach out to the adcoms for a profile review. You will be surprised by the in-depth feedback they provide on your profile.
Good luck!
