Hi Everyone.. thanks @Grass_root for starting this thread and congrats on getting an admit.. can you please share your profile?

i am planning to apply for Jan 2015 intake.. however, i have some doubts and queries.. though i am looking out for a 1 year MBA.. can you or anyone give me insight on top canadian colleges like Schulich, Ivey, Queen's and McGill or anyother for that matter and what will be the job prospects after studying from there..
not including Rotman here as i had got an admit last season but due to high fees i had to turn down the offer 😞
your inputs will be greatly appreciated..

Can someone tell us about the placement record of the school and MBA job opportunities in Canada. Why should a student choose a Canadian school over a US b school?

Hi there,

First of all understand that all the four schools are brilliant in academics and you are what you make of your MBA. That being said-


Rotman=Ivey > Queens>Schulich in terms of pure reputation.

For overall placements Ivey>Queens >=Rotman >Schulich.

All others are regional players in Canada with not much weight outside.


Now coming to placements for Indian students please take into account that in batch size

Queens (70)


The number of Indians ( with indian passport) hovers around Queens (25) Ivey (14-17) Rotman (65+) Schulich canada ( 100+) Now since these people are all vying for the same profiles and are coming from similar backgrounds ( 3-6 years HCL/Infy/TCS/L&T; with 680+ gmat less leadership opportunities etc) therefore one has to measure ones own profile against this metric to see if one is generally ahead of the game or in the same boat. The indians in the batch of all schools (unless loads of experience/ ca cfa cpa designation/ consulting background ) end up with jobs in the range of 68k - 80k CAD. IS THIS BAD ? absolutely not and though it also depends on your individual lifestyle and preferences, can definitely give you a good platform to build a career in Canada.


Which program you decide to attend should be based on asking pertinent questions like do I need a large or small cohort? do I need an extra year or can I make my work ex count? etc The opportunity cost of all 4 programs are the same at CAD 110 -125.
