Well my primary question is whether Ivey will wait for letter of reference before handing out rejection letter or do they make decision before submission of reference letter?



Well, some of my applicants for Ivey have submitted recommendations late into the process, even after receiving interview invites. As I understand this, the b-school will definitely wait for your recommendations before they give you an admit decision even if you have already interviewed (means they will wait to have all parts of the application completed). However, I am not so sure if they will wait for the reco letter before handing out the rejection letter. Using the same logic, they may have to wait in order to complete the application.
Hope that answered your query.

Hello BK_IN,

Logically, they will not hand out a rejection letter before you submit a reference letter unless your reference letter is very delayed.

Thanks.
