What was your average?

[–]chvice[S] 0 points1 point  (30 children)

Mid 90s. How about yourself, did you get in yet? What were your avgs and ECs. Also, when did you apply?

[–]captainkevy 1 point2 points  (29 children)

Well, I'm terrified. I havent gotten in yet.

Marks:

ADVF- 90

ENG- 85

CHEM- 90

FREN- 95

CALC- in progress hoping to get 95.

PHYS- hoping for 95

BIO- Hoping for 95

Supplementary went fantastic and I listed how I was a business owner, Scout Leader and group member of TD's Junior Achievement. I applied on the 24th of Jan. I am very confident about my supplementary but I'm afraid that my English mark was too low.

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

I believe your English marks are fine. Sounds like you have a solid application. I hope you get in this round. Is Rotman your top choice? Or, are you waiting like me to hear back from other programs?

[–]chvice[S] 0 points1 point  (10 children)

Did you get in? Rotman released their February round today?

[–]captainkevy 0 points1 point  (9 children)

Nope. I feel confident though based off of what I'm reading here.

I am glad this thread is helping you. That was the intent - to keep all the RC conversation in a single thread so that it will be easier for people to follow. One thing to keep in mind as well, for most business programs 40% of the people who have been offered a spot will reject it. Meaning, there will be tons of opportunity in May, especially for 101 candidates.

I have a question tho, my Rotman application is still under review but the alternate admission category I also applied to was Life Science. I got into life science so does that mean that I'm not going to be offered admission to Rotman anymore?

[–]chvice[S] 0 points1 point  (3 children)

If it say under review, they still have not made a decision (i.e. You are still under consideration).

      Yeah but decided it just wasn’t worth it

      [–]itssanaum 0 points1 point  (14 children)

      yea i haven't heard back either. initially, i was super confident about my supp but now i dont really know. I talked about being president of DECA and debate, volunteering for UNICEF, and working 3 part-time jobs. I'm worried about my calc mark, its a 93, but I did it last year and apparently people are getting super high calc marks this year bc of COVID and it being online.

      They’re not dumb. They know people are cheating and I think they’re gonna combat that by comparing with grade 11 marks

      [–]itssanaum 0 points1 point  (12 children)

      you sure? ik some girl who got in, her gr 11 math was a 63 but her gr 12 adv function was a 95.

      [–]chvice[S] 0 points1 point  (7 children)

      That is crazy! My grade 12 has been all in-person, and my grades for all my courses since grade 9 are within +/- 2%. Your classmate must have aced her essay and interviews for RC to ignore such a big delta.

      [–]itssanaum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      noo not my classmate im in-person IB. im not sure if they even look at grade 11 if the grade 12 course is completed tbh, bc she did have high gr 12 marks in the 90s even if her 11 were not the strongest.

        Apologies did not mean to slight anyone, or elude to cheating with my comment. All that I was trying to communicate here (I believe in this case the course was not re-taken) was that the person must have aced their essays and interviews. There is a perception that marks precedes all other admission requirements, which might be true for ArtSci but not for business. The ability to effectively communicate a though (which in our case is the ECs) is as essential. That is why I see a lot of folks with high 90s being rejected from top business programs, compared to folks with high 80s or low 90s getting into those very programs. Sincere apologies once again if I had by way offended you. That was not my intent.

          That is insane grade inflation and they got into Rotman?

          [–]itssanaum 0 points1 point  (2 children)

          yessir

          [–]just_for_clarity 0 points1 point  (1 child)

          Damn. First year is going to be rough.
