Revivean and @Amiya31; I was also of the view that they review the profile holistically but I received a rejection email today based on GMAT scores only. In my previous email I mentioned my GMAT score, I think they used that criteria only to reject my application before even I submit anything :(

The just mentioned that I need to score 680+. Not sure if that is specific to me or is it like their vacant seats are already filled. I did apply for Resume pre-assessment but that was last year. This year I haven't submitted anything.

Last year, even I received a similar email saying that I need to score above 680 to be considered.

Basic WES was fine for me, but it depends on education as well so confirm with advisor first.

Yes, We do have group for admits. PM me to add

Hi All, I have applied to Queen’s Jan’24 intake. I was interviewed on 24th August, but haven’t heard back yet from the AdCom. How much time do they take to revert? Any inputs will help.

Padmini07 My decision took 1.5-2 weeks post interview. So that would be an ideal timeline for you as well.

The next steps would be KIRA video assessment and an interview.

You can find the KIRA video assessment questions here : https://gmatclub.com/forum/queen-s-kira-video-essay-written-questions-353849.html
You can find interview experiences here : https://gmatclub.com/forum/queen-s-mba-253/interview-debrief.html

Hope this helps. Wishing you all the best for the steps ahead!
