Hey guys!
Realized that there wasn't a thread for the 2021 intake for the full-time Ivey MBA program. Submitted my application on the 5th of January 2020. R1 Deadline was Jan 6th.
Sharing future deadlines for the others:
Application Round Deadline
Round 1 January 6, 2020
Round 2 April 6, 2020
Round 3 July 13, 2020
Round 4* September 21, 2020
Round 5 November 9, 2020
Round 6 January 4, 2021
Sharing my feedback on the application process:
Video Essay - Pretty straightforward. You have unlimited attempts at the practice questions. You get 2 questions randomly out of a pool of about 150 questions. My questions were - "What is the one thing about yourself that you haven't shared with us in the application" and "What would you do if a team member stopped responding to your calls? How would you respond to that?"
The written essays seemed simple but it is a challenge to crisp this out to 250 words. You'll really know how little 250 words is, when you're writing this.
If you've done your schooling and under graduation in English - PLEASE WRITE THE ELPT NOTE. I've seen many folks writing IELTS Academic/TOEFL for this. You don't have to if you can convince them that English has been your mode of communication during both academia and professional journies.
Would love to hear about interview invites/dates etc from the others applying for this intake.
Hey,
Best of luck, bro. If Ivey will be the best for you, I wish you get accepted soon. Please share your profile (i.e. GMAT, TOEFL scores, GPA, Work experiences) with us and update us on your progress.
Mixed bag profile, tbh.

Work Experience - 7.5 years (Sales profile across technology startups. Engineer turned salesperson across Zomato, Roadrunnr (Core team and strategy) and Belong. Currently heading sales across APAC for a fin-tech startup).
Undergraduation - MIT Manipal. Mechtatronics Engineer.
Involved for the last 6 years with the Robin Hood Army (Check this out) and in the core expansion team.
Cheers.
