Guys, a little doubt,

Its a stupid question but just wanted to know on this, So, I am Planning to apply for 24 class, and this question is for already admitted candidates, do you have to upload or show any certificate from NGO to prove it to Adcom or while admisdion ? I did some work for 1 year, just wanted to know if I have to request any such.. I feel weird on proving thing but heard that certificate is a thing so just to be clear...

bschoolhunter saury2k can you help me guys on this?

Is it also for other schools also like Rotman, Yorks schulich?

Certificate is suggested for any course ur taking. For NGO work they generally don't ask for any certificate. Please remember not to exaggerate your CV because that could raise questions and related questions could be asked in your interview. I was never asked for anything related to my community services but they expect you to give example of them in your answers therefore even use these experiences to broaden your answer scope.

I hope that helps. Good luck!!

Yep got it,it surely answers my question, thanks a lot for prompt response😊

Hi RamFromIndia

While a cerrificate is not asked I highly recommend to upload certificates for any extra curricular/non-regular activities that you mention in your app. You should note that adcoms get tons of flowery applications. Hence take every effort to prove your credentials. As a thumb rule I will say higher the achievement, better to attach supportings.

Read the current affairs of Canada, one month of content should be enough. Also, you should have atleats one example from the business world that can be taken as case study in Ivey, and be thorough with that as you will get cross questions related to it.

Best of luck!

I'd say wait till R-1 for next year.
I have a 750 gmat, post grad from one of the top schools in India and a client facing job for last 4 years. My ivey interview went pretty well, yet I was rejected.
While I understand this year admissions are pretty competetive, I still felt I had a fair chance. Only reason I can think of a denial is because I applied in R4 that too towards end of August.
Specially given that they take 20-25 Indians each year, I doubt they'll have any space left for Indians by now.

Just had a chat with Lindsay, according to her anytime before 20 September would be good for any international applicant as long as their profiles are competitive. She said it is equally likely for everyone to get accepted in any of the rounds as they accept students from various countries on a pro-rata basis.

Really happy to announce that I got accepted into the MBA program, and was just informed via call by Lindsay.
The interview with Mark went really well and was mostly about the fit and what my objectives were with the Ivey MBA.

Would be great if someone could help me with links to join the Admitted Students groups.

Hi everyone, I'm interviewing with Robyn on Friday. If anyone has any tips for me please feel free to share.

Also, for the case study question, what did you guys answer? I can't think of a response for that.
