Ivey is a great school in Canada. It is no doubt among the top two school if not the top school in Canada. The case method teaching has certain benefits as well as flaws. In the courses such as finance or with the new professors case method learning could be avoided. Overall, case method helps and prepares you to think on your feet during all those difficult discussions with the clients and the leadership. Thus, Ivey is a very good school for consulting.
Ivey alumni base is also very big and career management also tries to get you engaged with them. Through get connected session organised by CM students get the opportunities to talk to them ad build connection which apparently is the key to getting job in Canada. Furthermore, CM provides various resources and guidance to prepare students for the job interviews.
One major drawback is too much focus towards consulting. Ivey has great presence and reputation in consulting. But in other industries such as tech and finance, It falls behind schools like Rotman and Smith. In finance apart from LDP programs from big banks in Canada hardly any other roles are promoted for Ivey MBAs. In tech too Microsoft, google and amazon hardly hires anyone from Ivey.
In Totality, Ivey is a great school for consulting focused students who wants to stay in Canada after MBAs.
