I have only applied to Canadian schools (including usual suspects like Rotman, Ivey, Queen's, etc).

When an offer of admission is made by a school, typically how long do they give you have to make a decision?

Thank you.

I would assume until the deposit deadline.
You're better off contacting the school directly or finding that information on their websites.

Sometimes one of the schools you apply to might require a decision before you've heard back from other schools. Therefore, it is important that you prioritize and have a clear strategy in mind before the offers start rolling in.

** adding to MBA Expert's point, *SOMETIMES* you can ask the school for a few weeks extension if you have a good reason. Its unlikely they will offer to you (esp a top MBA program), but doesn't hurt to ask and I know of some students who did get a few week extension to make their decision.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
