Hi AVY123,
At the first glance itself, your profile stands out with exemplary achievements under your belt. Your CGPA of 8.92 and your GMAT score of 700 vouches for your strong academic capabilities and is pretty competitive for schools like Rotman or any Canadian school in general.
Coming to your work experience, you have more than 3 years of work experience which is decent enough, however since an MBA program generally prefers candidates who have extensive period of work experience. Having said that, you are still at a comfortable position since you carry big brand names such as EY under your CV which will definitely set you at par with your competitors. Furthermore, you can enhance your profile by drawing attention to any managerial role that you have undertaken for the sake of staying relevant to the program. Moreover, you can talk about the kind of projects you worked on, how you were able to add value to your company, what skills you gained, and what you’ve learned in the process.
Talking about your extracurriculars, When it comes to writing about your extracurricular activities, you should always focus on highlighting how you went above and beyond in your endeavors and how you will be a great value addition to the school. Here you have mentioned about the various certifications that you have attained along with clearing the CFA level 2 which again is an impressive achievement which you can use to showcase how you are constantly upskilling yourself. Apart from this you have also held leadership and positions of responsibility in your college society and clubs which is an added advantage to your candidature. Most importantly, I would suggest that you undertake volunteering activities to highlight your soft skills paired with your social skills which can ultimately vouch for the budding leader within you.
Speaking of Rotman it falls under the dream category (where your chances of acceptance is 50%). In addition to this, you can consider a few other schools such as Ivey, Queens, Schulich and UBC which fall under the competitive category where your chances of acceptance is around 60%). However, you can boost your chances of acceptance by presenting a very strong application that will help you differentiate from the application pool. Your application would highlight your profile USP’s and overshadow any particular weaknesses in your profile. Moreover, you need to ensure that your LORs and Resume, equally depict the strengths of your profile.
That said, if you are contemplating on how to draft an impactful application, you can check out our All-in-one service which has helped 3500+ applicants get admission into top B-schools. Moreover, the service would provide you with a complete end to end consulting process aimed at providing personalised application suggestions, unlimited edits, and expert consultants along with our founders (who are themselves B school alumni) who would constantly be there to help you throughout your application journey!
