Hi,
I wanted to seek your insights about the McGill MBA program starting this fall v/s Smith Queens MBA which starts in January of 2022. I have been admitted to both, but the scholarship at McGill is almost double that of Queens. But I am leaning towards Queens.
I am looking for any insights into the program recognition , particularly the career support , career opportunity, alumni etc.
This forum has been really supportive & insightful through out my time researching about & applying to different b-schools.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards
Abraham
Both the programs are good with some differences. Both programs are well recognized in Canada and among the best. Almost all the big companies recruit from both colleges. The career opportunities could be found in their career reports. Both the programs provide ample experienctial learning opportunities.
the major differences are:
1) 1 year Vs 2year MBA: Depends totally on you. in 2 year you get an internship opportunity, whereas 1 year provides less opportunity cost and could be advantageous if you already have a lot of workex
2) Montreal Vs Toronto: In Queens or in Montreal , if you are an English native then you will have to network in Toronto mostly for the Job. In Montreal you have lots of job opportunities but for English natives, Toronto provides more opportunities.
3) brand name and alumni Base: McGill is a big brand name with global recognition, whereas Queens is highly reputed in Canada. During my research I found students from both the colleges to be very approachable but since McGill university is very big it has a very large alumni base as compared to Smith.
I hope this will help, I was also facing an almost similar dilemma with Ivey and McGill, FInally, I choose Ivey and the above pointers actually helped me in choosing the one that could actually help me reach my goal.
