Beedie School of Business versus Haskayne - Which Should I Pick? [#permalink] New post   01 Feb 2021, 01:24
Hello all,

I received confirmation a few weeks ago that I had been accepted into the Beedie School of Business at Simon Fraser University for my MBA. Considering that this has been my target school, I was elated to have received the offer and accepted. Last week, I also heard back from the University of Calgary. Considering that I've always been enthusiastic about the Beedie program, I feel that I'm making the right decision to attend next fall (though I appreciate the Haskayne offer of course). With that being said, I do feel like it's also important to seek outside guidance before making such an investment. Is there anything that I should know, or anything else I should consider? Just to add a little additional context, I will be an international student from the United States.

Thank you for your time!

Hey Haskayne is great school and it is in a industry led area as far as I know. How much is your GMAT score by the way just wanted to know how their avg gmat score is.

Thank you for the reply! My GMAT score was around 600. I actually ended up committing to Beedie, as I was more interested in what their program had to offer. Also, I received notification of admittance from Haskayne a little late in the game, so it was also a bit more difficult to plan my move. It sounds like both programs have their merits, so hopefully I made the right decision!

Hi fazio,
Congrats on getting accepted into both universities. I would like to mention few points to answer your question. If you are planning to migrate to Canada, UCal will be a great choice as it's a 2 yr MBA program but if you are not into PR, definitely go for Simon Fraser.
Another thing, if you are interested in the oil and gas industry, Calgary would be an ideal choice as it's the oil and gas hub of Canada.
I do have a couple of questions though.
Did you give a second interview after the KIRA one?
if so, what sort of questions did they ask in that interview?

Thank you for the response! I did end up going with Simon Fraser for my MBA program. While I desire to migrate, the SFU program actually spans the same length of UCal when you factor in the internship program and graduation date. Hopefully I made the right decision.

To answer your question, I never received any secondary interview after the initial KIRA interview for UCal.
