Email exchange between George Kesselman and Scott Walker (Director, MBA Recruiting & Admissions for Ivey MBA)
GK: I want to pursue a career in Management Consulting. If I chose to go for the May07 intake, does that mean I have a lower chance to find a job after I finish in the spring '08?
SW: Actually, the May cohort is perfectly aligned for the consulting industry and you would be able to maximize your consulting opportunities in the May cohort.
[also true for the financial sector jobs]
GK: I'm applying to number of MBA programs and was wondering how long does the decision process take after the completed application is submitted to Ivey? Do you have any suggestions as far as coordinating the application process for multiple schools?
SW: Once we receive a competed application, your file is reviewed and a decision to move to the interview stage is made. Once the two admissions interviews are complete we are trying to get back to applicants within 3 to 4 weeks. So depending on your availability for the interviews, the entire process could take as little as 5 weeks although it could be as much as 8 weeks. Let us know if you have a specific time frame and we will do our best to work with you.
As far as coordinating your applications, I would only suggest that you keep them straight. We read every file and more than you would expect declare that some other school is the right one for them in our application. Don't try to copy the answers, even if the questions are similar between schools. It shows when someone has not taken the time to really think about their answers to the essay questions on the application.
I hope this was helpful. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions about the Ivey MBA program or the admissions process.
Warm regards,
Scott Walker
Director, MBA Recruiting & Admissions
