Our Supplemental Application
Prepare for the Supplemental Application by attending a webinar this fall. Learn more.
Rotman Commerce seeks to admit outstanding students who have demonstrated academic excellence, strong communication skills, leadership potential, community engagement, and a passion for business. To help us assess these qualities, all applicants are required to complete the Rotman Commerce Supplemental Application.
Format
- 1 prepared written response, to be completed within 20 minutes
- 1 prepared video response, to be completed within 90 seconds
- 2 additional video responses, each to be completed within 90 seconds, based on questions presented after the application has started
Applicants will be recorded for the full 90 seconds of each video response, inclusive of a 30-second preparation period for each. Two questions, one written and one video, are provided to applicants after submitting the initial application to Rotman Commerce.
The Supplemental Application is considered alongside a student’s academic record as part of a holistic admissions process.

How It Works
There is a $52 Supplemental Application fee, paid with the submission of your OUAC application. Shortly after submitting your OUAC application, you will receive an email acknowledgment from U of T that will include your JOINid/UTORid, your University of Toronto Applicant Number, and information about the next steps in the application process.
Once you have access to the Join U of T portal, you can view the status of your application(s) and see a list of any required documents, including the Rotman Commerce Supplemental Application. Detailed instructions about the format of the Supplemental Application will be available to applicants through the Join U of T portal. Applicants will have access to unlimited practice sessions.
Note: Your information will be collected and held for the University by Kira Talent, a company that provides an online platform for video interviews and essays. Kira Talent uses cloud-based technology to store data. Before you begin your application, please ensure that you have read the Kira Talent Privacy Policy.
