I am a Canadian engineer currently working in a Toronto-based family business that manufactures and sells electronic products in US and European markets. I am currently deciding between Rotman and Booth full time MBA programs. Given that I plan on returning to my family business post-grad and eventually take over as CEO, which school would you choose? What advantages would you find in one school over the other (given that post-grad job recruiting is not very important to me)?

Want to impress Canadian folks? Rotman. Want to impress anyone else? Booth. Rotman is noticeably easier to get into if that is a factor, but Booth is the league above it. TL;DR, Rotman isn't poor quality and is great if you're thinking domestic. Booth's international reputation is dramatically better and the name is known in global business.
Out of curiosity why have you chosen stereotypically pure finance schools? Looking at your work and goals I would imagine something like Kellogg instead (if you're thinking Chicago).

I appreciate the insight into the differences in branding and reputation.
To answer your question, I specifically chose Rotman because of it's high standing in Canada and obvious desirable location for someone like me who works and lives in Toronto. As for Booth, I think their entrepreneurship program is amongst the best and often overlooked since they are still stereotypically looked as a finance school (in the same way Kellogg might stereotypically be looked at as a marketing program). Kellogg is obviously a great school but Booth seemed like a better potential fit for me and since I was limited in time because of the round 1 deadlines, I chose Booth.
