not soon i guess, they haven’t responded for delhi candidates as well.

Btw what was the tentative timeline for the results they had given you during the interview?

Let's have a small fun discussion guys
Guys as you all are applying to other CAD bschools
How would you rank degroote?
Top 5 or top 3
According to me
I'd say-
1. Rotman
2. Sauder
3. Alberta
4. HEC Montreal
5. Degroote

They said within 2 weeks

Could you guys include concordia to the rankings too.

5. York - Schulich
6. UBC
7. Alberta
8. HEC Montreal
9. Concordia
10. DeGroote

Sailor:- are you by any chance planning to specialise in finance?

Nopes. Are you? For Finance I feel the market is centric in Toronto and GTA. Rotman is surely the top one for Finance followed by McGill's Desautels.

So McMaster has much less value compared to the top Cad b-schoools?
Or is it just the co-op MBA that makes it stand out

Rotman on no.3 that's a personal ranking I assume

Yeah to be fair and square, McMaster enjoys good reputation just beacuse its close to Toronto and because of the coop offering. But you will be studying with a fairly young cohort. Won't get the networking feel as coop program is for graduates with less work ex. I've known a friend who joined the program but wasn't very impressed with it. Also take note that on graduation, even though you will have 3 terms of work ex, you'd still compete with grads from Rotman, Schulich, Ivey, Queens, Ted Rogers for the same roles. The program is for someone who wants to land a job in Canada but tbh it won't give you the bang on buck. McGill - Desautels tuition is 89k and the ROI there would be exponential as compared to McMaster.

No no. Check the Bloomberg Rankings released yesterday. Ivey and Queens are also better programs because of shorter duration hence a higher ROI!

Ted Rogers is also a co-op, right?

So all schools in Montreal are subsidised by the qubec government. While the ROI is extremely good! Toronto anyday beats montreal for financial jobs. I have an admit from concordia but im still leaning towards mcmaster because of Toronto

Me as well, I was applyinG TO SCHOOLS close enough to Toronto and far enough to help me subsidise my tuition fees
Also It will cost much less to live in Toronto or MISSISAUGua
I think, Toronto is good for all people looking for networking in which case Ted Rogers or Rotman have an advantage, so does schulich

I just received an admission offer from Degroote for coop 2020 intake.
Interview was held on 3rd dec in delhi. Will wait for other colleges and then take a call.

How many days have they given you to make a decision and pay a deposit?
Are you going?

They have given me 2 weeks. Meanwhile, I have my schulich interview in 2 days and i am expecting an interview call from rotman as well so all depends on other admission offers, if any
