One interesting thing about MBA programs across Canada is the different approaches they take to admission deadlines. Some schools have numerous rounds where a certain number of people will be admitted at specific dates throughout the year, while others have a rolling admissions process with one official deadline.
Of course, most schools will be happy to admit well qualified applicants after the deadline, they even leave a few places unfilled for such late applicants. It would be interesting to see just how many applicants each school will take after their official deadline, although I'd imagine that would be somewhat indicative of how many applicants they've had and whether or not they are prepared to lower their admission standards. I suspect most schools would rather keep that information private.
