VC Placement post-Canadian MBA is a difficult task. Most of the top funds will attract M7, INSEAD/LBS level talent, while smaller funds only sporadically hire Post-MBA Associates. You would need to have the following: - Connection to a fund in Canada or Abroad that deals a lot in Canada. - Prior PE/VC or IB experience. - PE/VC or IB Internship. - Ideally North-American Experience - Ideally below 30 (Funds tend to prefer younger candidates in my experience) but to answer the question: McGill >Schulich>Sauder. McGill has the strongest program out of the three and you have iNovia + White Star (Some of the largest VC funds in the country) in Montreal. Montreal also has a stronger tech/start-up culture than Western Canada. Toronto is obviously ideal, but from my research, the few PE/VC placements that are available would be filled by Queen's, Rotman and Ivey over Schulich.

So to calm your nerves, I'll let you know. The adcoms meet only on thursday. So they may present your application (after the interview) on the first Thursday than discuss you the next Thursday and if you get in they may take two more thursdays to discuss scholarships for you and then they'll let you know the following Tuesday. So don't expect to hear to fast.

This is for the round 2 applicants - Has anyone of you received the invite for the interview ? I dropped an email to get an update on my application status and got the response that it is still under review. Posted from my mobile device
