Narrative:
Tower issued us a take off clearance behind a B737. Shortly after rotation we experienced a severe wake turbulence roll event that required full aileron deflection to maintain control. The event caused several oscillations. No GPWS messages were given and a positive climb was maintained throughout the event. I believe that the B737 rotation point was prior to ours causing us to climb through the wake turbulence.
