Sept 10? Early round deadline shows September 4th

Posted from my mobile device

She told me the same date too. They got more applications than expected and so the results are delayed. I assume that's the reason for their super quick interviews too. I had a call for just 20 minutes, which is the case with other applicants too.


Seems this will be an extremely competitive year if the applications have doubled.

Fuuuuuck. As someone without a stellar profile (670 GMAT, 3.1 GPA, only 4 years of WE upon matriculation), this is nerve wracking for me. I wonder how the numbers skew for international applicants vs domestic. As a Canadian applicant I’m interested to see what the class profile ends up like.

I had a question regarding the Reference Questionnaire. Does anyone know if these are the questions which our professional references will be asked? (Found this on clearadmit.com and wondering as to the accuracy):
Quote:

1. How long have you known the applicant and in what capacity?
2. List three to five attributes or characteristics that best describe the candidate (single words only, no sentences please).
3. Of the qualities listed above, in which areas has the applicant distinguished himself/herself most?
4. What would you consider the applicant’s primary area for improvement or growth?
5. How would you rate the applicant’s potential for becoming a successful business leader?
6. Please provide your overall recommendation in the text field below.

I don't really know.
My boss literally said no because he saw a non-general recommendation letter.

He told me that he won't type so much. But ultimately did. I don't know what he typed but I'm pretty sure it was lengthy

So I guess that is the one.

I asked this to the Adcom member I was in touch with. She said it will be competitive this year due to deferrals and suggested me to apply by Round 1. But I believe even number of applications has increased, adding to the competition. IMO, R2 could be the really competitive one for internationals though.

I don’t think Rotman allowed deferrals this year. But a 100% increase in applications is hard to fathom and will definitely make this the most competitive year. Still I am unable
the understand the reasons for such a huge spike.

Right, Rotman didn't allow deferrals. What she said was that we have told the admitted candidates to reapply this year and we have no reason to reject them since we selected them last year.
I'm not really sure of the 100% increase, but an increased number of applications is the reason for delayed decisions is what I was told.
