UBC, Sauder MBA Fall 2012 Applicants and Admits

Hi Soumyak,

i would like to know how has been the placement record so far for your batch. How's the placement market this time around compared to last year?.From what I've heard getting into the top consulting firms is not easy, talking from a strategy/ consulting point of view. Also,for the SCM area, UBC is well known for it I think. Has that helped the placements for the SCM guys or its pretty much similar to the other areas.

Thanks,
Mihir


Hi Mihir,

Frankly speaking, I am not aware of the placement statistics for this year, atleast the official figures from the school. From what I have gathered from friends, the numbers seem to be better than last year, but again, I cannot say much about the breakup across specializations.

Thank you for the information Saumyak.

Has anyone received the acceptance letter by courier? I have not received mine as yet. Do they send it once the offer is accepted online?

@Aarti
Hi Aarti, You should receieve your conf letter a few days after your conf email. You dont have to accept the offer to receive the letter. The letter is your offer.

I am in a process of collecting required documents and formalities for filing the visa.
Anyone of you who have already applied, can you please share with me ,

what are all financial documents you are required to attach .
For example:
1. Loan sanction letter
2. ITR , FORM 16 of last 2-3 years,
3. Savings bank account statements of dad/mom (sponsors)

etc.

Good luck with you visa application. See you soon in vancouver.

Hi there, there are three Questions that you need to answer in Essay form,
These essays can entered directly into the application page, or you can upload it as a word document through the attachements section.
So if you have already entered it into the application page, you dont have to attach it again unless you want to.
In regards to statement of purpose, you generally want to stick to criteria that is being requested. It would be best to incorporate your statement of purpose somewhere into your 3 essay questions.

Hey skinnybob..thankyou so much for the prompt reply...Could u also please tell me how did ur refrees fill up the LOR's...did they do it online or is there some other way that can be done??

Hey Surbhi, your welcome
From my understanding, they can only be done online, you have to enter your references email id into your application, and then they (your references) will be sent a link automatically via email which they can click on and fill out your reference.
Make sure, that you have atleast one professional reference, better if you have two, and then your third is optional and can be a coworker, personal, friend etc.

Hello GS
You did not mention what your GMAT score was. Realistically you would want to have a score of 630 and above .
Your grades look good (better than mine atleast :grin:)
All that put together, just have a good interview, prepare for some of the questions mentioned on the first few pages of this thread.

Hi All,

Is there anyone from Pune who got admit for Fall 2012?

Hi Dhruv! I have also got an approval from MBA house for accommodation. But I have not accepted it as they have a lease term agreement of 12 months. I was hoping to stay for a quarter and look for a cheaper accommodation. So, I am still looking for the same too. Do post on the forum if you find anything. I check out the off campus accommodation links on the UBC website. I could see some relevant postings though, but I see less pictures and less information out there. I guess we need to speak to Alumni and current students to figure out the housing for us.

Hi Kalpana!!
Have you got an admit for fall 2012? Please share your profile and how are things going on at your end. I have applied for an education loan, waiting for the sanction to apply for the visa!

Hey Does anyone know if medical examination is mandatory for the Visa to Canada? I do not have a center in my city and will have to get it done from New Delhi, so any information would be helpful.

Hello Friends,

I need your help/opinion on following fronts:

1) I have to arrange for official documents to be sent to UBC and considering my University is in chennai and I am in Punjab right now, it can take atleast two weeks to arrange the official documents. Since I am still waiting for interview call, should i wait further till i get admit offer or should i arrange and send the documents before that.

2) I haven't taken any English proficiency test as my UG was in English. But it seems that EPT scores are necessary for Canadian Visa. Kindly Comment. Also, how much time it can take for visa processing and what are the requirements.

I have applied in the last round and now I am finding myself in kind of "No man's land :)" A word or two from your side could be a great help!

Thanks and Regards,
GS
