I applied for the MBA programs at Rotman and Schulich in the last round for international applicants. I recently got selected for the MBA program at Rotman but haven't heard from Schulich yet (20 days). I believe Schulich is going to be a NO then.
My past experience has a mix of HR and Sales. Although, I haven't completely decided yet but my post-MBA interest is Marketing/Strategy/Consulting. Now, here is the confusion. I have been hearing that marketing people should prefer Schulich over Rotman. Considering the fact that I did not get into Schulich, I have nothing to choose but Rotman.
Since, it is a very big investment for me, I am not sure whether I should accept my Rotman offer (expiring next week) or wait and apply to Schulich later this year in the first round.
How do marketing professionals do at Rotman? Do they get good placements in leading MNCs like Unilever. P&G etc?
Help.
It's a hard question to answer, because a lot of the right answer would be dependent on sooo many thing I don't know about you like - how much of a benefit it would be for you to go a year earlier? Or how strong your profile is? How strong your GMAT is? what you could gain from waiting a year? Or where (regionally) you would prefer to work?
There's no straightforward answer detached from answers to the above questions, so feel free to write me again with more info, and I'll do my best to share my thoughts with you.
Best,
