Any other invites? Is anyone from Bombay going to the QS event tomorrow? Thanks Oreo

Hi everyone, I need some help regarding sending my IELTS score to Rotman. They said on their site that I have to mail a hard copy of the result. Can we not send them the score electronically from IELTS authorities? Usually we get only one hard copy result sheet after the test. Do I send them that through DHL? Please advise.

What Rotman means is that you request the testing authorities to send a copy of report to Rotman. You do not need to send any hard copy!

Hi Folks, I am from Mumbai. Received an admit from Rotman. Just wanted to check is anyone seeking loan from BMO through SBLC route. I am finding it difficult to secure SBLC from Indian Banks. Would really help if someone can give some guidance based on their experience. Best, Snehal Sent from my ONE E1003 using GMAT Club Forum mobile app

Congrats on the admit, @Snehalpoojari You might want to connect with the Rotman alumni/current students(via LinkedIn) to check how they went about their finances. Alternatively, you might want to check with Prodigy Finance for finance related queries. I shall PM you the LinkedIn username of a couple of Indian students in Rotman. Hope that helps you.

Hey pushpitkc. can you share any names of individuals you might know of who have leveraged loans from Canadian banks?

Those who got admits How much time is given to accept the admission offer ? Any information on the total tuition cost and living expenses ?

Sorry dkhanna Am not sure if the people I know had leveraged loans from Canadian banks, but I felt they will be better equipped to give you that information. Shall PM their Linkedin usernames to you, if you want!

In my case, I was given exactly one month. The letter said that tuition for the 2018 academic year will not be set till July. They provided the 2017 tuition from the Rotman MBA website as a baseline. Check the website.
