Dear ILULA08,

Your profile is in range for Rotman and Schulich, but I do have concerns on a couple of items. First, your education and experience profile are over-represented in the global MBA applicant pool. As such, it will be key for you to find a way to distinguish yourself in your essays, resume and recommendations from applicants with similar profiles. Second, your verbal score on the GMAT is low. It will be important for you to score well on the TOEFL, have well-written essays, and do well in your interviews to demonstrate you have the English proficiency necessary to succeed in the program.

Good luck,
Lisa
