Hi
I have an admit from both the schools: Simon Business School(University of Rochestor) in US
and Schulich School of business (York University) in Canada.
Simons fees is 95K USD, Schulich is 60k CAD
So I want help in decideing between the two mainly on the following parameters:
1)US vs Canada
2) Brand value
3) Placements for internatinal students
4) ROI
5)career opportunities.
Any sugeestions would help
Thanks
Some more info about your background and your short term/long term goals would have helped me give you better insights, yet i am trying to give help you with your query as much as i can.
1)US vs Canada
Depends on where you want to settle, one difference is obvious that US has many times more opportunities than canada considering the size of economy, if you are international student, canada has friendly work permit rules as compared to US.
2) Brand value
Both schools have decent brand values in the respective regions, so choose a school where you want to settle, do not choose schullich if you want to settle in US and vice versa.
3) Placements for international students
With canadian schools, you have advantage of assured work permit of three years post your two years of graduation at schullich, in US you have to start looking for your Visa post your studies, schullich has a huge pool of international students - especially from India.
4) ROI
I would say do not worry much about the difference of 30-35k , over a career of your 30/35 years, this difference is negligible, choose a school that you wanna study at and a school that fits your budget.
5)career opportunities.
Simon is better for finance, simon had 30+% students placed with financial services last year, schullich has unique combinations of concentrations , you can choose from various concentrations.
I have tried to give you broader picture, if you have any specific question, you can ask by giving some more details as i mentioned earlier.
Good Luck
