When I started my MBA program, I legit thought I would stand no where, due to my past experiences but the application process was literally a game changer!
I got admitted to some of the top programs in Canada with a WL!
Schulich - Got accepted on Jan 23rd to their IMBA program, super small cohort, only 30 candidates in the first year, and then merged with the FT MBA in the second year. Great reputation among employers. Average salary is low, but that is due to higher cohort size of the overall program.
Smith - Got accepted last night with a scholarship of 15k CAD. Really happy, and the adcom called and told me this, so felt really grateful about it. Was not accepting a scholarship for sure, but it happened. Again, great reputation among the employers, but is in Kingston, which in 2.5 hours away from Toronto, limited networking opportunities, it is a 1 year program, so the opportunity cost of an internship is also added to this. Cohort size is only 90, so the cohort quality will be great for sure.
My post MBA goal is to be in the finance industry, probably in the equity research field or lending. Both colleges have a heavy inclination towards Finance. The cost is more or less the same, the only difference being, Schulich cost is spread across two years, and Smith is across one year. But if I take everything into consideration this would be the case.
Now really confused, on which program to choose! Need a lot more perspective here!
Thanks,
Aditya

Hi adityan92!
Congratulations on your admit to Schulich & Queen's!
My suggestion would be to stick with either Ivey/Rotman or Queen's for Canadian MBAs.
While Schulich made strides a few years back, I've heard that the quality of the cohort has gone down significantly and major firms no longer recruit the MBAs.
Queen's is a very strong brand domestically and will give you a more tight-knit feel, plus ample OCR opportunities.
I would pick Queen's handily over Schulich.
