A 660 score for Rotman and Ryerson would definitely be competitive, especially if the quality of your work experience is high and your essays are great. The GMAT range for incoming candidates last year at Schulich was 550-780; the spread at Rotman tends to be in that ballpark as well.

I wonder if it's a good idea for me to retake the GMAT to see if I can get close to that 674. I think I could improve a bit on my quantitative, that's for sure.

Guys,
I'm applying to the McGill MBA. I have a question about my letters of recommendation. I can either have 2 from supervisors at my current company (different divisions); or 1 from my current supervisor and 1 from an academic professor who I worked closely with during my undergrad. Which do you think is preferable?

I would think that 2 supervisors would be better than 1 supervisor + 1 academic, unless the academic can say something truly interesting and informative about you.

Guys, any thoughts on Ryerson now that it is ranked in the Economist?
It's hard to take the Economist ranking seriously since it's based entirely on surveys filled out by the schools, alumni, and current students. It can be a useful too but I wouldn't use it as the only factor when making a decision. For my money, there are much better schools in Toronto...

Give it time, often these things don't happen that quickly. They'll have a decision to you - positive or negative - by December 18.

My understanding is that to work in Montreal after graduation you're probably going to want have a good level of business French.
Can you elaborate? I'm interested in McGill but my French is grade school level. I am interested in the availability of jobs in Montreal in terms of only English fluency.

I haven't done the program but it looks interesting, if you are practicing in the medical field.
The program will probably not give you as much of a base in general management/administration as an MBA would - and pretty much narrows your career focus to one field - but if you're set on healthcare it seems like it might work.

Hi Duncan,
As I can already see you have decided to quit by your 9000th post, so i would like to ask one more question, so that you can sum up your valuable answer in one post. I have opted EU and Canada as options towards by MBA, but both without GMAT,could you suggest which option would be better & if EU then which Country as UK has already taken a exit from EU, (looking post study visa options) and which B schools in Canada as well without GMAT as it is little tough to find.
Eagerly waiting for your reply,
Ayush

In terms of picking a country, the key variables are language, ease of getting work permits and economic growth. Take a look at http://www.imf.org/external/pubs/ft/weo/2016/update/01/. Many European markets are attractive but, without business-level language skills prior to entering the MBA, you won't be successful. So, that means the focus should be on Canada, the USA and emerging economies (which you exclude). Given the lower entry barrier, Canada is the obvious choice, even though wages are low for MBA talent there.
Alberta, BC, Manitoba and Ontario are the provinces with the forecast of greatest growth (http://www.rbc.com/economics/economic-reports/pdf/provincial-forecasts/provfcst-jun2016.pdf) so I would focus there.
To be honest, I cannot really recommend a non-GMAT school. If you're not motivated enough to take the GMAT, I doubt that you are motivated to move to another continent and make a life there. Take a look at Why you should take the GMAT http://bit.ly/WhyGMAT
PS Some people spend more time buying a car or picking a holiday than it takes to prepare for the GMAT. Examine your priorities.
