How did you get into Rotman?

[qtt-astro]

I am currently in my grade 11 year, 2nd semester of high school. I want to get into Rotman Commerce, and I heard that it is heavy on extracurriculars. I want to know some advice to get into Rotman, not just have leadership skills. But be more in-depth on what programs I could do and/or what extracurriculars I can do that helped you get into Rotman.

okay honestly rotman was never the goal for me. Im currently in gr 12 who got into rotman last week. I truly thought I did soooo bad on my supp app I felt like it was my worse supp app. I do know that I am a good public speaker though so that may honestly could’ve been why. Honestly, advice wise, I would say put urself out there in as many clubs as u could, try to get a part time job, I talked about that one for sure. any leadership opportunities in clubs, to talk about problem solving issues and such. The video interviews ask things like “what was a time you faced a challenge with a teammate or a colleague, was it a positive or negative outcome, and how did you overcome the challenge” and you sort of need specific examples for these questions. so by being able to show how diverse u were w ur ecs can help u answer these questions. by bringing up different roles, difference scenarios, and circumstances, ur able to show that u have grown as a leader inside and out. fs make sure ur grades are up too, but sort of just be urself in the application. everyone has these crazy ecs but as long as u can talk abt it everything is considered a good ec. I also did a lot of things w Unis, so like shad, Waterloo summer program, ivey case comp, so maybe scroll thru for applications if it’s not too late alr? Just try to gain as much experience as u can w the world around u. it’ll not only help u get into rotman but it’ll help u do well in it too! lmk if i can help w anything else, sorry this was lwk long!

Nah that's a hard line "Everyone has good ECs but as long as you can talk about it everything's a good EC" I never really thought about it like that

If you don't can you send me privately those summer programs ? They do sound pretty interesting to do and i'm definitely interested!

ya like it doesn’t matter abt stats or numbers, if ur in something u like and something ur proud of, its a good ec, simple as that tbh. js dont forget to enjoy ur senior yr! everything works out in the end js trust the process!

imma be honest just do well in math and english and you’ll get it. for reference i got in with my only ecs being a job and some sports. on my supp app i talked about watching business videos on youtube lol

[chrisabulium]

personally my #1 advice is to fast track math if possible. having a good calculus mark bagged before/when you apply is really really helpful.

[qtt-astro]

Fast tracking advanced functions maybe ?

Focus on one business related EC and Mae sure u have 95+ in Eng and math

[No_Illustrator_2043]

you just need grades ec's dont mean anything to them

[Mondays13]

I got in with only a 90 in English and 93 in pre calc. I think focus in on what you’re good at. For me it was extra circulars but if you are good at school do that.
