1. Schulich

2. Depends
3. Hmm ... this is a tough topic to tackle because resulting opportunities are highly dependent on internal capabilities, you eat what you kill as they say. There are however general placement trends out of Schulich. It can be found here:

Hi Everyone,

I might be looking at a wrong place but I am sure I have double checked - I cannot find essays anywhere in the application portal. Where are they? Please direct me in the right direction. Help appreciated!

Thanks!

Hi,

Essays are not mentioned anywhere on their site, its only when you start your application you can see, them. As i have started my application I will post the essay questions here:

Essay 1-How will the Schulich MBA degree help you achieve your short and long-term career goals? (please limit your answer to 350 words.)

Essay 2-Describe a time when you were faced with an ethical dilemma. What strategies did you use to resolve the issue? What would you have done differently if faced with a similar situation? (please limit your answer to 350 words.)

Then you have 2 optional essays

OPTIONAL Essay #3 --For Scholarship and Award consideration (open to only full-time applicants)

Describe your involvement in activities outside of work. How have they contributed to your personal achievements and enhanced your self-development?
(please limit your answer to 500 words)

OPTIONAL Essay #4

Is there any other information or areas of concern in your academic or personal history that you believe would be helpful to the Admissions Committee in considering your application?

Hi there,

Thanks for the prompt reply. Appreciate it! However, I might be blind or doing something totally silly as I am in the application portal and still cannot see the essays tab anywhere.

Could you tell me where are you getting the essays tab in your application or if it is a part of any particular section?

Since you have posted the essays, I would start working on them now. It would save me some time. I am as is very late.

Have you already applied or applying in this round (ending Feb 28th)? Any idea if the round ending Feb 28th is applicable for scholarships for international candidates?

Thanks!

Hi

Essays are listed under MBA Essays in Application page, you can see it from the tabs on the left hand side of the page.
I am working on my essays, Feb 28 is the last deadline for international applicants, I am on the same boat as you, trying to submit my application before the deadline. I have no information about scholarships for international candidates, but I have a pre-application meeting on 26th Feb with someone from Schulich, I guess I can ask them then.

Thanks and all the best! Appreciate it! This is what the site says:

https://schulich.yorku.ca/client/schulic ... enDocument

Under Deadlines tab, it says: "For scholarship consideration it is recommended that students submit their application to the program by January 7. "

I am wondering if I should then go for the early 'winter' deadline to qualify for scholarship consideration. Thoughts?

Thanks!

I think the essays come when you select the program type. So you will see them once you select Full Time MBA.

Hi deadlycat

I have been to other Rotman vs Schulich gmatclub debates and you have always been a staunch supporter of Schulich. We want to know that has this outlook on Schulich changed any bit, now that you are inside the campus?

Hows your experience till now?

If you are IT,Finance you need not worry, plenty of opps.......as per the career services guys!!!! Schulich scores over Rotman in many aspects...moreover you get a 3 year work permit and would be eligible for the provincial PR Program... so finding a job would not be a problem if you are little bit patient.... :-)

Hi All,

Can you guys please throw some light on the opportunities that Schulich MBA can provide me to launch a career in Canada's Oil and Natural gas sector?. Actually my pre-MBA WE is in the project management capacities in Indian Power Industry , making Canada's Oil and Natural Gas sector as my logical first choice.

Also, please tell me how effectively can Schulich help me launch into finance or marketing, considering my pre-MBA work experience. Basically, I just want to explore on my options if I attend Schulich.
Please also suggest what other fields or working areas will become open if I pursue an MBA from Schulich.

My personal opinion is that Schulich is highly reputed in Canada and I am very much eager to join the college. But, I am not clear about my job prospects after an MBA from Schulich.

Please pour in your comments and suggestions :-D

Need advice! See the link below.

Under Deadlines tab, it says: "For scholarship consideration it is recommended that students submit their application to the program by January 7. "

I am wondering if I should then go for the early 'winter' deadline to qualify for scholarship consideration and not rush for the 28th Feb deadline. Thoughts?

GPabla, at the risk of invoking confirmation bias, I would say that picking Schulich was the correct choice for me. The reason I say this is not because Schulich offers the very best education that money can buy (it doesn’t). What Schulich does offer is a good business education at a relatively affordable price.

My experience at Schulich up to now has been eye opening. It has definitely not been all fun and rainbows. In fact it has been downright grueling for the past year and a half. I work full time so I take the MBA program on a part time basis. I basically finish work then head straight to class, 2-3 nights a week. Since I work in downtown Toronto, I try to take most of my courses at the downtown Nadal campus, but I’ve also taken some courses at the uptown Keele campus and even the odd classes on Coursera and even one at Rotman. My weekend is split mostly between school work and real work. I put in about 20-30 hours for school and 50-60 hours for work per week which adds up to … a miserable schedule. Social life doesn’t fit well into that schedule and there are days when I question myself if it’s really worth it.

My answer has so far been yes and it basically boils down to one thing, personal growth. I’ve often in the past shied away from hard work and coasted on talent but a schedule like that has really beaten the laziness out of me (mostly). I was also fortunate to be placed in a very strong cohort with many talented and successful peers. Most of us worked full time and many were married with kids. I am still amazed at how they managed to juggle all of their family duties on top of work and school. I mean, I'm barely holding it together shouldering just work and school, if I have to wake up in the middle of the night to feed a screaming child, I don’t think I would make it out of the program. What was clear to me after knowing my classmates is that they all focused, ambitious and driven. Luckily, in an environment full of talented and driven people, these traits are infectious. I can’t help but be motivated to push my limit and become a better version of myself. Iron sharpens iron as they say and I can honestly say that I have been inspired and motivated by many of the people that I have met through my MBA journey thus far.

I feel that I should put a disclaimer here after my previous paragraph which does sound like over the top cheerleading. While those thoughts are my honest opinions, they’re based on my personal experience and it goes without saying that no two people will have identical ones. Quality of students varies quite significantly from one campus to another and even from one class to another. I have been in classes where the student quality is quite subpar so keep your expectation reasonable if you’re considering Schulich. The quality here can be a mixed bag for both students and profs.
