Hi All, New to the Queen's MBA forum.

I am planning to apply this year.

Profile: BTech(India) Computer Science, WE of 28 months as SDE - 2 at American Airlines, GRE 324( Q166, V158).

Going through the thread, I noticed that a lot of you have been offered scholarships by the college. How does my profile match up for and what is the range of scholarships that are offered?

Thanks
Sarthak

Hi Sarthak,

Based on what you have shared, I believe that you have a competitive profile. The scholarship depends on your holistic profile. Below are some of the parameters:

1. Academics (GRE/GMAT, CGPA in University)
2. Work experience
3. Diversity (academic, professional, cultural)
4. Clarity of career goals (cover letter)
5. Performance in interview and video essays
6. International experience
7. Extra curricular achievements

I am sure there are other factors too. But the ones I highlighted above are what I heard from admissions committee.

All the best!

Folks, do you plan to attend the school next year? If so, is there a group for admitted students? I am willing to set one up if there isn't one currently.

GmatLover98765 -
I would suggest converting the GRE score to GMAT using "GRE® Comparison Tool for Business Schools" (Google it). Then compare with school average range of 650-680. If you have great extracurriculars then lower score would be fine else it might be better to re-try.

Hi everyone,

After a lot of deliberation, I have decided to join Rotman MBA program (2022 Fall intake).

It was a difficult decision for me especially because of the sizeable scholarship offered by Smith adcom and the amazing career services team. As per my research, Smith MBA is one of the top programs in Canada.

Many congratulations to all the admitted students and all the best to the future applicants :)

Hi princearora11 , can you share us on why you decided to go to Rotman over Smith. I believe you have done extensive research to come to conclusion, so curious on what points made you to choose Rotman over Smith.

Congratulations btw. Wishing you all good days ahead
