Thanks for starting this conversation. Let's make it official discussion thread for Queen's Jan 2019 intake. I've updated first post with data tables and few links. All the best to all applicants for Queen's app.

Hey!
I am in the process of completing my application for Queen's MBA. Is there a format for the cover letter? I've written it in essay form in first person. Since I've never written a cover letter in my life, I'd appreciate if someone can direct me to a template that I can use.

Thanks!

Just submitted my primary application today.
I'm really short on time to finish the essays now :(

What are the chances of getting in with 3.5 years work experience with great career progression from Management Trainee, Technology to eventually Growth Marketing & Analytics and a GRE score of 331?

In some of the Queen's webinars, it has been mentioned about what the adcoms expect.

Webinar recorded in 2016





Jump to 30 min:30 sec)-1para about yourself, your background, Why Queen's and Why now and what you're looking for post-MBA

Webinar recorded in 2018





Jump to 24 min:10 sec)- 3 things are to be covered: Why an MBA ? Why Queen's, why its appels to the candidate ? What are post MBA goals ? 1 page restriction. essentially tell complete story why the candidate should pursue this degree, why Queen's and what the student will do with it.



Aditionally, aeromati who received an admit from Queen's has given his opinion how he/she wrote cover letter. Scroll to the bottom of the page on the following link:

Thanks gocoder for the reply.

Had my interview yesterday in Mumbai with Matt. It was pretty informal and felt more like a conversation. Queens will get back with the decision by the 2nd week of June. Fingers crossed! :)

I'm sharing a few links that might of interest to those applying Queen's 1 year MBA program. I'll update a few more links to the list as we participate and research more on the program.

Webinar for video essays:




Tips on references by the adcoms:




Recent webinars by Queen's adcom (recorded in 2018):






This is another webinar in which TouchMBA's Darren helps applicants understand Program director's mindset:



gocoder, these links are very helpful. Even I have started my application for Queen's 2019 intake. I will be submitting my cover letter and video essays soon. Those who have already submitted and received an interview, can you pls share your suggestions regarding the kind of questions to be prepared for before starting the video essays?
