关于Rotman对GPA的要求

咿咿

接到ROTMAN的EMAIL.说, 最后一年的GPA对中国学生最少85/100,MASTER的最后一年也必须是最少85/100. 是不是可以考虑放弃了. ROTMAN一定是如此吗?

Rotman is regarded to be the best B-school in Canada. Once a Rotman man told me that Rotman takes only 1/10 MBA applicants and the average GMAT they have is 720 at least.

Really a Big Bull/Cow factory.

不一定的, 我的一个好朋友2002年去了, GPA也才3.0(其中有几年还是2.8,2.9), GMAT 710, 还拿了奖学金.

Hi, Kathy72.

She/He must have something special. Rotman is a crazy school famous for its academic focus, including its master degree, even bachelor degree. Especially, Rotman treat students' transcripts of China unfairly, 85% = B. Actually, in most of the Canada schools, 85% means A. So, I don't think Rotman is wrong for strict requirement of GPA. I do think it is unfair for Chinese students.

那么Rotman 认为 A = ?/100  ，这个标准有点特殊。

U of Toronto 的官方标准是 A+ = 90 - 100; A = 85 - 89;

Hi there,

I attended some information sessions of Rotman and got the offer (part-time) on this Thursday. I have the impression that because of the large pool of applicants (in 2002: 5:1 for fulltime and 2:1 for part-time) Rotman is strict for its academic requirement especially for Chinese applicants. However, things change slightly since as far as I know they get less number of applicants in this year so far. So maybe it's a chance .

Thanks Edwardcheng. But I asked this question to the admissions of UT, they told me applicants must get more than 85% in the last year of bachelor degree study, as well as master degree study if you got.

For Chinese, 85%=B, just B.

Hi there,

Well I am not very sure about that kinda "crap" requirement when I applied. Actually when I calculated my GPA, I haven't really calculated my GPA with that way. Anyway, I think what you can do is to make an extra letter explaining why your GPA is less than what they ask for. For example, that's because your university has an extremely low mark for ALL students and it is one of the top universities in your region. Something like that, I think that maybe will help.
