[quote="achakraverty"]Ok great. I'm from India. Waiting for a call (if at all)with bated breath. Are you aware of any more round 2 admit calls? You are the first one I hear of. Congrats again.

Sorry I haven't really chatted with any other applicants. If it helps I interviewed last Thursday and they let me know the following Wednesday.

Just got my acceptance call.

Let me know if there's anything I could help answer. I will be sticking around this thread for a bit.

Good luck to other applicants!

Oh, and I forgot to answer a previous question: Yes, I'm participating in the Rotman Problem Solving Challenge as well.

Thanks! I had my interview on Monday, February 10. My experience with the interview was fairly informal and very conversational. Some of the questions that were asked:

  • Name the experiences you've had so far that led to the decision for pursing your MBA at this point in time.
  • Why did you choose to come to Rotman?
  • Name a person who's leadership qualities you admire. What are those qualities?
  • How do you think you would be able to contribute to your class?
  • If there could be one thing your classmates would say about you after your MBA, what would that be? Why?

There were also a plethora of other questions that were asked, but those were asked off of answers I was giving. And don't forget to think of a meaningful question to ask your interviewer afterwards.

I also want to remind applicants that I don't think these are standard questions. I think your interviewer tailors the questions to your specific application. Note that I wasn't asked about my teamwork experiences, or experiences in dealing with conflict, etc. I just want to make this clear so that you don't prepare for the interview thinking that these are the questions to be expected, because they're not.

Hope it helps and good luck!

Mr. Billiards,

Thanks a lot for the detailed response. I think you are absolutely right when you say they would be tailored to your application..
Cannot thank you enough for guiding the rest of us so well. May God Bless You!

Also, if you dont mind, could you tell me if they mentioned anything about them running late because of the amount of applications they have received?
I am asking because curiosity is building - havent had any call yet... so eagerly waiting for a positive response from Rotman!!

Thanks again!!

Sorry, I personally haven't heard about them being behind schedule. The only thing was on January 30 during the Value of the MBA event at Rotman, a few attendees (including myself) inquired about Round 2 and Niki, who was the speaker, revealed that they had a lot more applicants than they expected. So I don't know if they're behind schedule or not, I just know they're swamped.

Although someone (mistablair) mentioned in this thread that their interview was next week even though their application was submitted before the deadline, so who knows.

rejection email today, honestly not surprised given the interview I had, extremely unprofessional on the part of my interviewer. One of those situations where you can feel someone doesn't like you the second you walk in a room. I got the sense of arrogance when I walked through Rotman's, the interview did nothing but strengthen this fact. Based on how things progressed I wouldn't have accepted Rotman anyways, e-mail stated work experience was the reason but I highly doubt it.

Indian applicant from Bangalore here. Received a mail from Niki overnight informing me that I've been accepted to the program. Finally, the nerve-wracking admissions process comes to an end!
