Rotman Application- Spike Factor Pictures [#permalink] New post   29 Jul 2018, 08:21

Rotman this year has asked for 1-3 pictures of the applicant showing a 'Spike Factor' along with a description of upto 1000 words. What kind of pictures should one opt for?

Complete description:
Our admitted students stand out by doing interesting things with their personal and professional lives — something we describe as the ‘spike factor’; what are the things that you have done in your life that demonstrate Passion/ Grit/ Resilience/ Innovation/ Drive/ Ambition and more? This can cross all or any aspects of life outside of work – hobbies, volunteerism, awards, entrepreneurial ventures, sports and the arts. We believe that exposure to a rich diversity of viewpoints makes for a superior learning experience, and pride ourselves on building a diverse class of exceptional individuals who will go on to make the School proud as professionals and alumni.
Please upload 1-3 of your 'spikiest' pictures and use the essay to tell us why you have chosen these particular images to illustrate your ‘spike factor’ (use up to 1000 words).
* Note: Your photos must be uploaded as a single PDF.

Hi AsmitaR

While your query was posted quite some time ago, responding in case it can still help / to help others because the topic remains the same this year as well.

Try and choose pictures which show a significant activity (e.g. simply posting a group photo has minimal impact) that is of relevance to YOU. The most important part is how that relates to your values and efforts. Rotman is looking at the qualities that underlie the person, and they have mentioned several values they prize already - passion / grit / resilience / innovation / drive / ambition. Different pictures could convey this differently for different people. The important thing is to choose photos which feature you (of course; generic snaps of events that don't have you in them won't make the cut), that focus on some activity that is close to your heart and that you have worked on substantially, and show depth in what you do (avoid photos of a one-off activity or event; focus on consistency).
