So, I’m officially going to Rotman

Hi world!

Congratulations! It gives me great pleasure to advise that you have been admitted to the Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto for September 2006. The Admissions Committee was very impressed with your academic and professional background and believes that you will be a great addition to an already impressive class!

You are joining a very select group of talented, high achievers from Canada and around the world. Rotman MBA students, like you, are among their generation’s most promising knowledge assets. They combine intellectual and professional accomplishments with leadership, contribution to their communities and a diversity of cultural experiences.

The school has been flooding me with lots of e-mails from students, all professing their love for Rotman. I’ve wanted to go to Rotman for a while so they aren’t really useful but some are still a fun read.

I went to the bank a few days ago and withdrew my tuition deposit. Now $2500 poorer I’m going to have to stop living the high-life: A young, single male in Kingston with a professional degree and a well paying job. Sufficed to say, I’ve been feeding my passions: Computers, video games, Sci-fi, music, gourmet foods, RW&CO. sweaters, and lots of partying. Unfortunately, the recent payment is a sober reminder that the fun will soon be over: I have to curb my spending and once school starts I expect to have very little time to spend playing SOCOM. :)

My plan is to have this site add a little to the world wide waste and give some insight into the Rotman experience. I found that as I researched different schools there was very little in the way of personal accounts that weren’t sponsored by the schools. I’ve always found unsolicited personal accounts very useful–I also tend to trust them a little more. I’m hoping that others feel the same way. Hopefully others will give this blog some “street cred” since it isn’t approved by Rotman and I’m just some guy, sitting on his couch, watching Battlestar Gallactica, and typing whatever comes to mind.

Till later.

    Congrats, Riz! I hadn’t heard about your admittance until now, and I’m very proud of you. It couldn’t happen to a better guy, and Rotman is very lucky to have you. All the best!
