I sent an email to Rotman inquiring about my application and I got the below reply.

Quote:
Thank you for your email. Since the file had an unofficial transcript, a decision date for the 21st was not possible. The admissions committee is working hard on reviewing your file with the unofficial transcript, but you will have to wait a few more weeks for a decision.

We thank you for your patience.

:(

Hi
I wanted to ask the following.
Did you get an interview even without the official transcript?
Did you send your official transcripts later on ?
And they simply didn't send you a decision by the due date?

I didn't get an interview invite till now. I'm ask them now whether I need to send the official transcript now or not; however, in the application, the official transcript wasn't mandatory.

I'm not sure whether you need to have your official transcripts in before an interview but it would be likely that if you recieve an admit it would be conditional on the fact that you do eventually send some in in order to verify that your unofficial transcripts were not doctored in anyway. In my case I'm currently in school and I sent official transcripts of all my completed classes, however, my admit is conditional that I graduate this term and maintain over a B average as per their entrance requirements.

Interesting... So even if the supplemental items show your official transcripts as missing (i.e. not all supplemental items have been received), they will still review your app and so forth?

I don't know the answer to that... I would suggest sending it in asap. I was more stating that if they do review it you will be required to submit one at some point so better to send it in as soon as possible

I get the feeling that one of the biggest red flags for them due to the heavy courseload is procrastination. Obviously there are legitimate reasons why official transcripts can be delayed (mine took two weeks and my undergraduate school is less than 100km from U of T) however, again, I wouldn't put it off

From my understanding, you would typically have to wait until your official transcripts are in before you'd be invited for an interview. Ask yourself, why would an admissions director look at an unofficial transcript that could have been altered if they can just wait for the official one? Why the extra work? Especially now when they have more applicants than they expected in Round 2, they'll only be reviewing those with fully complete applications.

However, there are exceptions, and in my opinion that happens if you are an all-star applicant. As in, you have a 760+ GMAT (99 percentile), stellar work experience at a global top firm, amazing recommendations from substantial leaders at that firm (better yet, Rotman MBA alumni), then they might invite you for an interview.

Totally agree with you on this. My statements were just inreference to the person who did receieve an interview without official transcripts and how they should still expect to have to get them in asap

Unless you're a former UofT student. Then they'll just pull your records and there's no need to send in an official transcript. :)

Your reasoning makes sense; however, I can tell you that, even though my GMAT is nowhere near 760, my application was reviewed before my official transcript was received. I even received an interview invite & interviewed with no official transcript on record yet. They did however say that any decision made will be conditional.

Anubhav, did you mail them before they sent you the update or did they send you that on their own? And did you take part in the RPSC?

Nope. No word on challenge yet.

gchetansharma you seem to be applying to some really good schools...how are your applications going? Rotman is probably one of your fallbacks if I am not mistaken.. (don't mind me... just making small talk to pass the time)
