Hi Reconadi,

I am trying to know more about Queen's MBA program. I believe you would have done your set of research about the same. May I request you to answer the following questions for me.

1. Do you have any info about the current class profile and last year placement stats as I could not find the same on Queen's web portal?

2. Which stream are you planning to specialize in and what specialization according to you is Queen's MBA renowned for?

3. Please also put forward your reasons to apply at queens, are you applying to any other canadian schools as well.

I have heard that Queen's MBA is good for consulting and also that many IT consulting firms like Accenture and Deloitte recruit from Queen's. Do you have any thing to add on this.

Thanks in advance mate.

PS: My GMAT : 710, 4+ year in IT with two MNCs, Future Goal: IT Strategy consulting.

1) Current class profile afaik is 40% student base outside canada, 32% female, 10-15% Indians, mostly from IT background.If my memory serves right, the average work ex is around 4 to 4.5 years

2) Queens offers general MBA program and they are known for that only.

3) Im applying to queens coz i like its team based MBA approach and the coaching culture. I feel these can add much value. Also, the duration is only an year. Last year, 90% students got placed within 6 months of graduation. Remaining 10% have 6 months more to search for job.

4) Im not applying to any other canadian schools. If you are targeting consulting post your MBA, i suggest you look into IVEY too. Iam not very sure of the companies that recruit from Queens. If i know, i will surely share the info with you.

@reconadi
which other schools are u applying?

Not very sure. I badly need scholarship w/o which it will be really tough for me to arrange finances. The program is really costly as you know :shocked:

hey guys wanna ask two points abt QBS:

1: is there option of internship ?
2: what are the chances of getting scholarship in second round ?

Hey ISBLBS( like your Id 😁 )

1) there is no option of internship at Queens. I got it clarified during my interview

2) I think the chance of getting schols is same in first and second rounds.
