Calling all DeGroote (McMaster University) MBA Applicants: 2018 Intake

Apply for the Coop program in DeGroote only if you have 50 lakhs with you ..!!

I got a final admit in the program and I enquire about the fee so came to know about this fact .

Thank you Sarah and Arpit!

Looks like I cannot afford the program... I have a budget of around 20-25lacs INR... Is there any other programs near Toronto or Montreal that will fit my budget apart from Ryerson.

I have heard about the Lazaridis MBA... But I am not sure about it’s reputation.. anyone here can throw some light on this program?

Lazaridis is a solid program, and you'd be eligible for their 1 year program which runs at 44,000 CAD for international students. Their minimum GMAT is 550 so you meet all requirements from what I can tell!

Hey arpit,

I have dropped an email to the Lazaridis MBA contact. The website says they prefer international students apply before January. But not sure if they still open to applications cause they have a rolling admission process.

As for other choices, my dream choices would be near Toronto since my current and past employers as well as clients have big offices here. Ryerson and Brock are the only options i see. Brock is very poorly rated would stay away from it all day.

Besides them, i am looking at UVIC Peter B Gustavson MBA, a coop mba with a student exchange program. They've tie ups with top B schools in the world. They've tie ups with IIM Bangalore too so found it interesting. There is also Asper MBA where you can do professional certifications like CPA, CBAP along with the MBA program. But neither of these cities have a great job market, although Victoria is a 2hr ferry ride from Vancouver you could risk going there because of its proximity to Vancouver.

If you're looking for some certifications Asper is a good place.

I'm also looking at Sobey school at Halifax, liked their curriculum and structure.

This is my list for now... Ryerson and lazaridis will be my first choice programs... For backup will apply to one of the other places...

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the info karthik , i applied in RYERSON 3 weeks back . Didnt get any communication from then yet . Waiting for them . I will apply in concordia as well .
Yes you are right Brock is not a good option . Will check UVIC .

Thanks again.

Hi,

I have submitted my application for FT MBA. I was wondering if it is possible that the admission committee consider my application for the Co-op MBA as my work ex is on the lower side.

Is the FT MBA very bad?

Hey again!
Just received my offer about an hour ago for the coop program with a 2000 dollar scholarship. Best of luck to all other applicants!

If your interview was early February, I'd recommend you check your email

Can anyone tell me if they used academic references or professional references for the co-op program? I am a bit confused since the referee description says "Please provide the names and contact information for at least two instructors most familiar with your academic work"
