Hi Saisan,
Congrats on your admit! Is McGill your first choice or are you still waiting on other applications?
Thanks Temuod!
I have got a call from Schulich as well.... have still got some time to decide...but I have a slight bent towards Mcgill for some reasons...If you have something to chip in it would be great!!
I guess it all depends on your post MBA goals. Schulich has a great program and is very well known within Canada. But go outside of Canada and no one has ever heard of it wheras McGill enjoys a great worldwide reputation. If you want to stay in Canada post-MBA, both schools are top notch. If you intend to work outside of Canada, then go to McGill without a question.
I'm a McGill alumni and I am extremely satisfied with the education that McGill has provided me with and I strongly believe that it will be much of the same in business school. If it were me, I'd definitely choose McGill over Schulich regardless of my post-MBA goals but again, I'm biased so you might want to get the opinion of an outsider.
You might want to consider that Schulich is ranked #2 in the least satisfied students ranking in bloomberg businessweek.

Nice input Tem, my inclination towards Mcgill was also coz of its worldwide reputation as a brand......However, when we talk about an MBA, things boil down to factors such as networking opportunities and locational advantage of being near the centre of all the action( I mean Toronto). Further, I believe to be successful in Montreal you need to have at-least intermediate skill with French. Learning french is always the way out, but practically speaking for me it would be difficult to gain the required level of expertise along with gruelling MBA studies.
Your least satisfied student B-school ranking might turn the odds towards Mcgill (Already favoured). I am only counting the negatives for Mcgill to you coz these are my concerns and I want to get past them before I finally choose Mcgill over Schulich. looking forward to you inputs
P.S.: I am surprised to see Rotman in that list too..Probab coz of poor career service centre.
