I submitted my application on 21st November, and I am yet to hear from the Ad-Com. Should I consider being dinged on there is still some hope?
The anxiousness has now turned into dejection.

Hello. I really think those interviews are kind of standard for all MBAs. I've had the opportunity of having 4 or 5 interviews, both in Canada and the USA, and questions are similar. You can google it and you'll find out. It's just about talking about your curriculum in 3-5 minutes, describing why you'd like to got to that school, and telling about professional situations you've gone through, like when you got critical feedback, when you were a leader, etc. You just have to know your story, the school and where you're heading to, and you'll be fine.

Hello everyone, seems like you're all doing well. Just jumping back in after disappearing for a bit.
Anyway, I saw there was a conversation last page about official transcripts, and I wanted to give my own thoughts regarding that. Officially, their answer will always be: no, official transcripts are not required for review. Unofficially, they have no incentive to start reviewing your application without official transcripts.
Why? People lie. Transcripts are easy to fake. Why go through the motions if there's a risk you're faking your transcript? I would say they'd consider your application to be submitted for whichever Round's deadline you submitted it for, but I do not think they'd start looking at you until your official transcript is in. Put yourself in their shoes: would you review an application that's missing a vital component?
For those who have been waiting a long time to get any news from Rotman and feel like they've already been rejected: well, a ding isn't a ding until they tell you. Nothing you can do about it right now but wait, unfortunately. Work on other applications. Repeated email inquiries would not be looked well upon; you're just giving them more opportunity to find fault in you.
For those who don't know me in this thread: I'm a Rotman 2016 grad, just paying back the help I got on these forums when I was in your shoes. As a graduate who's gone through the program and made friends with the admissions team, I might have some insight into how they think.
PS: If you have a question directly for me, please ask it here. I get PMs from a few of you and it's all the same questions, so I may prefer to answer them here for everyone, and I'm sure you won't be the last to ask it. Also, profile reviews are pointless for an MBA program that targets diversity...
Good luck!
