Hey Guys,

I had submitted my application on 1st Nov for R1. The application is still in a submitted state.
Does anyone have the application in some other state as "in review" or anything else?

Status is "submitted" for me as well. No change.
Let me know if it changes for you.

Status changed to "In Review".

Let me know when you hear back?

Hi avinoam,

Was wondering if you've heard back yet? I also interviewed a couple of weeks ago with an adcom member and was told that I'd hear back sometime this week.

Hi All,

So this is a general reply to some of the questions I've seen posted.

I've been fortunate to have a good rapport with the members of the adcom I've been in contact with. What I understand from them is that they meet only on thursdays to discuss candidates. Not hearing back from them should not be viewed as a negative it may be viewed as positive because they didnt reject you at the most recent admissions meeting.

If you had an interview they probably discussed your application already (no guarantees though). I also understood that if you get approved at one of the adcoms meeting it may take them a second one to evaluate how much in scholarships they will approve.

The adcoms like being engaged so it's good to send follow up emails, I am going to send one later today. Be professional and show that you're following up because this is the school you want to be at. You'll be fine. Hope to see you all in 2020

One other thing to add. Tonight I will be attending a McGill MBA class to get an understanding of what their classes are like. I'm attending their CEO series and I'm really excited, I'll report back what my thoughts are, here.

My application status is also in the review state. Did you hear back from them yet?

Not yet

The URL is "nimbus.mcgill.ca/uApply".
As soon as I type n in my browser URL bar, it suggests me the above application dashboard link, ahead of netflix.
Checking every day and the wait is excruciatingly hard!!

So I wrote my follow up e-mail and I got a quick phone call assuring me that I've been accepted to the Desautels class of 2022! They sent me an unofficial email and said and official one will come soon! Please let me know if you've been accepted to!

The person who interviewed me, Antoinette. I had her email because after our interview I reached out to the person who organized the interview and requested Antoinette's email because I intended to send her a thank you email (and i did with in 24 hours) 1 week later I saw her at an MBA event and then 1 week later I wrote a follow up email.

Oh okay. I also interviewed with Antoinette and also wrote her a thank you email within 24 hours of the interview. I just wrote a follow up email to Pina, who helped organise my interview. Hoping for the best now!

Happy to share that I’ve just been admitted to the class of 2022 as well! Received an unofficial mail, stating that they will send me a formal acceptance mail next week. Happy to help anyone out through the process!

IshanH, Is McGill the school you're aiming for. It's my top choice! If you're going to accept we should start a group of McGill 2022 students, and start developing positive relationships!

avinoam, well McGill and Schulich were my top choices, given my professional background and career goals. I will hear back from Schulich around mid December on my application status. However I’m fully aware that they are both very different programs and I am leaning towards McGill because I feel it could be a better fit for me. So I will accept the offer.

The school will probably create a group of all the admitted students but we should definitely create one ourselves in the meanwhile.
