Hey guys,
Just wondering, how many of you have gotten both an assessment and an interview request, and are also based in Toronto?
I only got the assessment, and when I asked Petra she told me that the order of assessment and interview doesn't matter (every successful applicant must do both, according to her), but obviously I'm still very concerned that I only have one of them.
Thanks a bunch!

well i dont know if this gonna help or not, but me (in Canada but not Toronto) and a few students that I know have received invitation of interview. But I think they are still sending out interview invitations these days since I received it early yesterday and my friends received it either earlier than me or today.

Just done the assessment. Stats and finance questions are very simple. but I am not sure about the math parts…
Maybe because I am not from math…

I got my invite for an interview after I received an assessment ( and did not complete it at a time as well). The email for an interview is very general and starts with "dear mmf applicant", so I think you will get yours soon , once the "system" generates an email for you.

Yes. Don't worry I think they should still be sending invitations. I heard from people applied last year that they are still interviewing people in early April.

I have just done the online assesment. As mentioned above there are 10 questions : 2 basic finance concepts, 1 stats, 1 matlab and 6 math related. The questions are easy and each should not take more than 5 minutes to complete/explain ( I would say anybody who took 1st and 2nd year math courses would get the right answers) .
I found the timing a bit confusing. It does not appear anywhere at the begining , so make a note on the exact time you download the assessment. However once you upload the documents, there is a note how long it took you. This also means that you can upload the documents even after 1 hour and 15 minutes and the system would still accept it. Also you can upload more than 1 ( I did 10 documents, one for each question) at different times ( finish the 1st question, upload it, finish the 2nd, upload it, etc).

To members having an interview tomorrow, good luck and keep us updated how it went!

Hi gavchik, how did you upload your files? Did you just select your solution file and click "enter"?

I did this but I was unable to upload the files!

Is it because I took more than 1hr 15min so I cant upload the files??????????????????

I uploaded around 1:18mins because my computer is dead slow. But still I was able to upload everything after hitting enter.

Are you sure they were the right format?
When I pressed Enter the files uploaded fine for me.
"You may only upload PDF or image format files (ie. JPG, PNG, GIF, etc)"

Thank you cam.

My file was in the jpg format. I hit "enter" and nothing happened....

Hi Chaohan,

I had the same issue! I was very very upset but then I tried to open the link in other browser ( I used Internet Explorer originally) and it worked there. I also reported the problem so hopefully they will fix it for others. Were you able to submit it eventually?
One of my files took long to upload so I ran over 1 15 and it was fine, I was still able to upload, just the time beside it stated 1 17.
