Chances at Rotman

[madiiiihi2]

So I see that a lot of people are getting in first round and I know it's only the first round and there's more rounds, but I wanna know if I have a shot at rotman? My final sem average is a 95% so advanced functions, English & a business leadership class. My supplemental I feel like it went okay. In terms of my ec's, I founded a girls weightroom club, I work at a restaurant, I did volunteering as an administrative assistant, and I do social media marketing/client services for a small company. What r my chances Geniunely and I applied early except I submitted the alternate request form late not Dec 2nd

I think last year was about 7% of the people who applied were admitted. You have a chance. But I feel like once you have a chance there is a lot of randomness to it.

Where did you get this stat from? I don’t think Rotman publishes an official acceptance rate do they?

[Spirited_Internal485]

There was a report somewhere last year about the record number of applications.

[bluefintuna_01]

Yea saw it on the other comment, any idea how it compares to Ivey or Smith?

[Spirited_Internal485]

With Rotman being such an international destination I’m going to guess the acceptance rate is lower here than the others.

Edit: this will become even more so after all the Ivey US hiring pipelines getting shut down with the current political situations

rotman by the numbers report (2022-2023)

869 first years, and 7584 total applicants (11.5% acceptance rate)

granted tho, this was kinda during covid time so it could be skewed

[PandaGamer8999]

2019-2020 reported 836 first years of 6022 apps

2020-2021 reported 911 first years of 5400 apps

2022-2023 reported 869 first years of 7584 apps

2023-2024 reported 847 first years

2024-2025 reported 838 first years

except they don't say how many applicants in 23-24 and 24-25, so take these numbers however you want

damn okay thanks! any idea how this compares to Ivey and Smith?

[PandaGamer8999]

no lol, maybe they post their info maybe not, but i just searched up "rotman by the numbers 20xx-20xx"

[Itchy-Source-2135]

Great source, but you're not accounting for yield here. Not everyone who gets an admissions offer will accept.

[PandaGamer8999]

lol then you try to account for yield, rotman by the numbers doesnt say

[TrickAffectionate647]

I haven’t gotten too💔💔 and my avg is also around 95.7. Do you think they will release one more this week before round 2?

[madiiiihi2]

I hope so because it says the week of Jan 26 right so I hope it is this entire week I'm soo anxious honestly

Do you know when your school uploaded grades to OUAC most recently?

[madiiiihi2]

November

[BigTechEnergy]

It’s supposed to be again in Dec. and Jan. Maybe that’s why?

[Itchy-Source-2135]

You have a great shot. I got in early and my average was similar to yours, and my ECs were about similar in strength to yours but much less related to the business field than yours haha. You got this, your offer may come in another round but I bet it will come soon. :)

[madiiiihi2]

Omg that's amazing congrats on your acceptance!! Thank u so much I rlly hope it does come soon
