Business School Applications
After not being able to go to Simon Business School, I had to look for other schools to apply to in other countries. I have looked at several schools especially ones which have loan options available to international students as that will be the only way I will be able to pay the tuition and some of the living costs. I had settled on five different schools and I have applied to all of them. The schools are Manchester Business School (MBS), Rotman School of Management, Vleric Business School, Schulich Business School and IESE.
The first school I had contacted with was MBS went I went for MBA tour and I really enjoyed talking to the school rep. I filled in my application, did their interview but sadly they didn't select me. I was a bit gutted about that but I guess all things happen for a reason. In all honesty I really didn't want to go there as it was my safety school. I know getting a student visa in the UK is a bit tricky especially for someone in my background. Although the school is pretty amazing!!!!!
The next school that came calling was Rotman, I almost gave up on this school as it took them a while to get to me. I should mention right now that this is the school I really wanted to get into. They emailed me a week ago inviting me to an interview on the 13th of Feb. the interview went well as I was interviewed by Michael and I was glad it was him because I had spoken to him a year ago when he was in Kenya. I don't know if that helped but the interview went well and the next day he called me telling me that I am in the school YAY!!! You have to love how quick the turnaround was. As of now if things go well, I will be in Canada in a few months' time.
I won't talk about the other schools as of now as they are yet to invite me for an interview. I want to get into the rest of the schools mainly because I want to see which school will offer how much scholarship to help sway my decision. And anyways who doesn't want to be wanted.
Which school do you think I should go to?
Well it sounds like you have your heart set on Rotman PLUS they've accepted you - big congratulations, that's awesome news! But as you say, if there is a big difference in fees etc then maybe you'll need to consider a different one. Big decision!
