You are spot on with your gmat observation. For awhile, Ivey had the highest stats in terms of GMAT and undergrad GPA. I believe not too long ago, Rotman and Schulich's average GMAT was 650 where Ivey was around 670-680. Both schools took a much more stats-based approach to recruitment to compete, and as such have a lot of Chinese and Indian international students. Schulich especially. Ivey does not weight GMAT more than other aspects. For Ivey, having a polished manner of speech is equally as important. I know someone here who had a GMAT in the 500's and she's got an offer from RBC wealth management, so it's not a barrier once you're in. Rotman is a little hyped now because they had a superstar dean who elevated the school to the top tier within 10 years. If you're not going for specifically capital markets finance, you'll be fine at either Schulich or Queens as well. I would probably rather go to Queens than Schulich because Queens has a tighter student body and isn't on a campus that has a reported rape every few months.

The analogy of Rotman/Ivey is similar to LBS/Insead, Stern/Tuck or even Wharton/Stanford. Maybe this helps.

One more perspective and i am sure you guys can contribute a lot on the same
Location of the School
1) People suggest that the closer you are to the Toronto (especially from financial services point of view) , the better it is. I am sure that this is truth, but is it so true that one has to consider this aspect heavily while choosing school ? I mean queens is far from Toronto in that case, so is ivey.
2) Timing of degree completion - does it make difference if you pass out from the school during certain phase of the year e.g. does it help to pass out early (May month in case queens) ? because Rotman and Schulich guys pass out generally in Aug / Sep ?
In short , does canadian employer a set pattern in recruiting people ?
Thanks again for your quality inputs
