Hi
I applied to the 2020 intake cycle for Rotman's MBA close to the R2 deadline, post interview I was wait listed and in May 2020 was denied admission. I am looking to reapply this cycle specially in the Early round or R1.
My profile: A finance/capital markets professional with 6 years of experience, 3 in Pakistan and 3 in the UAE, working for a bank's treasury desk in FX and Fixed Income. I have completed my CFA and applied to Rotman via the CFA GMAT waiver and hence haven't given the GMAT.
Questions
1. how much of my essay 'spike factor' do I change from last year
2. given that may 2020 (when I was denied) and now isn't a great deal of time, how would I reflect any improvement in application
3. Apart form writing the GMAT, any tips/suggestions ?

Personally, I think it is very hard to say given the information you provided above. Your work experience is pretty good, and you have CFA. I dont see any reasons why Rotman rejected you. How was the interview with adcom, and did you ask for any feedback about why you were rejected?
If your essay and application got you the interview, I dont think the problem lies in the essay or GMAT.
