Hey there, I am Natasha, hopefully a future Rotman student. I was doing some research on Rotman when I stumbled upon your wonderful blog :DI hope you can answer this one very important question of mine : Do you think I have a good chance of making it into Rotman? My top 6 are :English : 83 (mediocre)Accounting: 90Management: 91Writers Craft : 84 (midterm)Economics : 91 (midterm)Calculus: 72 (AHHH!!!!) (midterm) This brings in an average of about 85 which I know is hardly impressive.Im pretty confident about my personal statement in which I wrote about my involvement in my school’s leadership/volunteer group. I was wondering if, with my horrid calculus mark along with my barely-making-the-cutoff overall average, I have a good chance of getting in I know my calc mark is really bringing my profile down. I had an 80 in advanced functions but I don’t know if they will bother looking at that. Please do let me know what you think. Have you ever heard of anyone getting into rotman with such a calc mark? Thanks very much and I am hoping to here from you soon Have a great day,Natasha 🙂

Well hello Natasha,
Unfortunately my crystal ball that predicts the future was replaced with a magic 8 ball. The answer is coming up ‘maybe’ … it’s one of those things that no matter how many times I shake it the same answer comes up (despite the probablitiy involved).
The reason for maybe is that commerce says “mid to high 80’s”. They say this on average, but it comes down to the competition. Some years the grades on average are much higher, making it harder to get in and sometimes it’s the reverse. Unfortunately you are going to just have to get the best marks you can and wait eagerly by the mail for your admissions package.
cheese and crackers … and wine,
