Ask an MBA Admissions Consultant

Hi All,

I have applied to Rotman for Fall 2011 intake.It has been 3 weeks since I have applied.I got an email from them 2 weeks back saying that my application is complete and my file is in queue and I would get a decision in 4-6 weeks.Any idea on when would the interview be scheduled etc?(if i get shortlisted).My profile is as follows

GMAT - 660 (Q-46,V-35,AWA-5.5)
B.E (electronics & Telecom) + PGDBA (SIES college of Management Studies-Full time 2 yrs)
Work Exp- around 4 yrs by the time I join (1 year in Kotak as Relationship Manager,1 year in Nomura as Analyst,Currently working as a Manager handling fixed income market operations of a leading investment bank).Iam very keen on Rotman(Reason interested in Finance)...Iam having PR (PERMANENT RESIDENT) status in canada.Will this help in any way??(In preference to students coming on VISA)

I want to know how fair are the chances of making it to Rotman..In case if I dont get Rotman
I dont know which should be next option...Schulich or Mcgill?

Hello,

I would say Rotman is an on-par school for you most likely, so with a great application your changes would be good - around 50%. McGill or Schulich are two strong programs. I think you'd be a viable candidate for either. I don't think I could advise which would be better -- instead, I suggest examining their finance curriculums and recruiting and make your decision based at least in part on those critical factors. Good luck with Rotman
