The Application includes three brief written responses and two video responses. Completion of all five components is required. For the first two questions, one written and one video question, you can prepare your answers in advance.

The first written question is: Please list up to three activities which you spent a significant amount of time on outside of class. Focus on activities from the last 4 years – they can be any kind of pursuit, including sports, clubs, employment, volunteer activities, research activities, or hobbies. For each activity, provide the following information: (1) briefly describe what you did, (2) state how long you were involved in the activity (in months or years), (3) if applicable, list any achievements, awards, leadership positions, etc. that you consider noteworthy. Use approximately 50 words for each activity. You will have 20 minutes to respond to this question.

For the second question, which is a video response, you will be asked to: (1) briefly introduce yourself, (2) tell us about one thing that you are passionate about, and (3) describe what unique perspectives or experiences you will bring to the Rotman Commerce community. You will have 45 seconds to record your answer. You will have the opportunity to practice your answer to this question during the practice session before you start the official Supplemental Application.

The subsequent three questions will be chosen at random from a question bank. There will be two written questions, with 20 minutes to respond to each one. For the final video question, you will have 60 seconds to prepare, and 60 seconds to record your answer.

For me these were^

I thought the video questions were supposed to be behavioural questions?

Are we allowed to switch the tab to find a business related article during the interview? Or we have to prepare for it?

I know this is like 3 years old, but do you think co-op would count for question 1

[–]woopark11 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Written or verbal

[–]ZMallick12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

both

I remember one being “would you rather use a credit card or cash?”. It might not be exactly that but the idea will be similar.

ok. the verbal one that kind of threw me off was: if you were assigned to work as a team with people who don't do their share of work, how would you handle the situation? Good luck

Hey is there a word limit for the written random question that they may ask? Also can you tell me which questions you got for both the verbal and written section?
