Submitted in April and got an interview on April 13th. The admission officer said that decision would be made in one week.

However, haven't got any update till now. I wrote emails to the admission officer who interviewed me and my admission advisor, no reply either.

Does anyone know what I can do now?

The admissions committee meets Thursdays and Fridays I believe, so it's possible they made a decision, and will let you know by end of business day tomorrow.

Hi,

I am Vishwa, a Current FTMBA student at queens.

Congratulation who received an admit and best of luck who are still in process.

These days I don't check Gmat club often, if you need any help then please email me on vishwaprakash.s@gmail.comwith the subject line as "Queens MBA -19 Applicant".

If you have already received an admit, you should consider getting in touch with current class, to know more about the program, school and city.

Best Regards,
Vishwa

Hello everyone....Joining your league guys. Applying for Queens. Planning to complete my application package by 15th May. is it late?

Few questions:
1) Can someone pls confirm if original transcripts and official score need to be submitted before a provisional admission is offered? Asked my advisor a few days back. no revert yet.
2) Is there any ranking exist between Queens, Rotman and Ivey. You can add other schools also if required. I plan to apply to top 3 of Canada.
3) Does higher work-ex means a problem? I have just completed 8 years in sales and marketing in CPG industry.
4) How good is Queens for consulting vis-a-vis other Canada schools?

These 4 for now. Any kind of info will be really appreciated.

Thanks.

1. I can't speak for international, but for domestic applicants they needed the official transcripts before my profile went to admissions committee. You can begin your application with unofficial transcripts.

2. Traditionally in Canada, these are the top three MBA programs. At one point Queens was ranked #1 in Canada, and #4 outside the United States, but these rankings fluctuate year to year. I'd say Ivey has the best reputation in Canada for Finance, And Rotman also places well for Finance. Queen's makes excellent managers and strategists.

3. Queen's is likely the best MBA program for consulting, and strategy. They tend to like applicants who can bring managerial experience to class discussion. I think you'll fit in well with your 8 years of experience and career goals.

4. Answered in the above
