https://www.rotman.utoronto.ca/Degrees/M ... s.aspx?&f=

Doesn't seem like Rotman is coming to India before the R1 deadline
Does anybody here have any information regarding this?

Rotman has changed the essay question this year. I could see only 2 questions on portal.
One on "Spike" factor and other on attributes.

Seems like there is no 500 words essay anymore on Why MBA & Why Rotman.

Hey sheiquiroga

Just checked out your blog and I love how you are documenting small details of your MBA life. This is not only an amazing record for you, but also helps prospective applicants like us get an upclose look at what life could be like at business school. I was disappointed that you lost time in your Statistics Management exam, but it is thoughtful of you to retell the experience in the hope that it could help someone else.

I will look forward to more of your posts. All the best!
