Hi Guys,

Can someone explain the Rotman pre-recorded interview pattern? I am a bit confused about how the interview works.

As of now, I understand that we have to answer:
- 2 video questions (30 sec prep time and the 90-sec answer should be recorded for each question)
- 1 writeup (get 10 min to write about 250 to 500 words)
Is this the correct understanding? or am I missing something?
Can someone please revert back on this?

Thank you in advance.
- Ravi

Can the answer be funny? Asking because when they ask questions like what's your favourite emoji, doesn't it warrant for a humorous response?

Can somebody share the questions they got? I do not see any post with actual questions for the current 2023 admission cycle.

I am posting my Video interview questions. They were as follows:

Video:
Q1. What energises you?

Q2. If time and money were not a constraint, what would your job be?

Essay (paraphrased):
Rotman is well known for its international experiential learning through various programs. Write a business case stating how you would be a great candidate for the said program.

Just gave my Rotman video interview.

Got the below questions (paraphrased):

Video:

Practice: What is your most favorite city and why?

Official 1: If you could be a teacher and teach any subject or skill what would it be and why?
Official 2: How will you prioritize between "Physical", "Mental", "Emotional" and "Spiritual"?

Timed Written Essay

Practice: Prior to start of classes Rotman Faculty and others review the class profile book to see the background, talents and achievements of all admitted students. Write a brief paragraph introducing yourself that you would like to see included in the MBA class profile book.

Official: Applying for an MBA programs can be a tough task from shortlisting schools to filling applications. Write a note to a Rotman ambassador asking questions about the program or any queries you might have.



I would recommend sparing 1.5 minutes in the end for the written essay to proof-read for any typos, grammar and spelling errors. Made this mistake.
