Hey guys, I've been lurking on this forum for a while. I'm also a Round 2 applicant for Rotman, had my interview on February 10, and just waiting to hear back.
I just wanted to comment on the waiting. I'm from Toronto so it's a lot easier for me to keep in touch with the admissions office because I attend a lot of events at Rotman. From our communications, they seem backlogged with applications, so don't worry too much if you haven't received an invite yet, especially if you submitted your application close to or on the deadline (January 13) because they might not have gotten around to it. I'm guessing that those who applied near the deadline but have received invites are either in contact with an admissions director who is on the lookout for their application, or are all-stars on paper. I was also at an Rotman alumni event last night and did talk to some Round 2 applicants who live in Toronto who are still waiting to hear back. So don't worry... yet! If you're waiting to hear back after an interview, the adcom didn't specify specifically but I felt it was implied that they hold their meetings towards the end of the week so you might hear back on Fridays or the following Monday.
Strongholder80, congratulations on your acceptance! I have a question for you though. When they called you to extend you your admission, did you ask about your scholarship?
If there is curiosity or request, I'll gladly post up my application time line and profile.
Cheers and good luck!

MrB,
Your post would help a lot many people out here who are eagerly waiting for decisions. I am one of the many! Had my interview on 6th. Still no update. I don't want to assume the worst, but do you think I am heading towards the worst?
Are you participating in the problem solving challenge?
Thanks!
