Hi, I only applied for 3 programs in Canada
Ivey, one year, great reputation, placement looks good, great alum base, case method.
Schulich, 16 months, good reputation, lots of specializations, recruitment is fine, highly ranked as well, very cost effective I think.
McMaster, b-school not as strong as the two above, but coop is their bread and butter, virtally 100% placement.
tuitionwise, ivey>schulich>mcmaster.
I know ivey has been consistently highly ranked and well reputed, but, is it too risky to take a one-year program, is it like "you get consulting/banking jobs or you get nothing" at ivey?
what you guys think of the coop program? should I take it over ivey?
thanks.
Mark1986xy, in choosing a school, there are many important factors to considers, such as location, school reputation, cost ... ect. I think what you need to do is some self reflection to see what factor(s) is/are most important to you and narrow the list down that way. For example, I love Toronto and it's being in Toronto for the duration of my study is very high on my priority list so I only applied to Rotman and Schulich. Once you're figure out your priority list, the decision is rather straight forward.
