This year an innovation has been introduced to the application process which is a timed written response question alongside the two video questions all applicants are required to complete.
“We identified a need to find a tool to better assess the regular business-communication skills and ‘voice’ of our applicants,” says Niki da Silva, Director, Recruitment & Admissions, Full Time MBA. “We were missing an opportunity to see the more casual and real-time style our students use most frequently to write emails that they will carry forward in their careers. There is no “right” answer to this component – our team is simply interested in better understanding this element of our applicant’s communication abilities.”
In the online application process, after completing their video questions, applicants will receive one written response question delivered via video. The question will begin by providing some context to help explain why it is relevant for a Rotman student, and our applicants will have a total of 10 minutes to read and reply to the question. This is not videotaped but is delivered ‘live’ with one opportunity to write and submit.
In 2012, the Rotman Full Time MBA program was the first program to introduce a video question component in its application process which since has been adapted by several other leading MBA programs.
