Admissions committees evaluate the GMAT/GRE in context — your background, your representation in the applicant pool, the strength of everything else in your file. The same score works for one candidate and falls short for another with identical numbers.

I have admits from both McDonough and Rotman.
My realistic-post MBA goal is to work as a product manager in the Tech or Fin-Tech space, I'm open to Tech-Consulting roles too.
Although I want to try my luck with Venture Capital/Investment Banking/Wealth Management considering I've worked with a leading wealth management firm for 4 years and have a CFA L1 too.
Could someone opine on which school would be a better fit and why?

I don’t think either of these NBA programs or really any of them including Harvard would give you a job. You would have to work and also beat out all of your other competition when it comes to recruiting.
It’s not like a highly successful wealth management firm with a bunch of Harvard and MIT PhD‘s n staff is going to look at your Georgetown or Rotman degree and salivate over it. They will not even care if you have a car or Stanford. That’s not good enough by itself.
You need to start looking at the employers and researching companies and identify positions and companies where you want to work and after doing that for a few days, you should get a pretty decent picture in terms of which program has more alumni or opportunities to recruit.
All the companies going to work for located in the US or on the West Coast, then neither of these programs are really a good fit…
My overall opinion is that Canadian schools are usually a worse investment than the American programs. There are more jobs and better paying jobs in the US. Canadian job market favors people with prior work experience so trying to get a tech p.m. role is going to be tougher in Canada if you don’t have prior experience. Also, the pay not as good as the US but the immigration is easier….
PS. Hoping you got some money from one of these to offset the big bill 😇

Have seen you often bashing Canadian programs and compare them with US MBA programs. Canada and US markets cannot really be compared.
US population and GDP are 10X of Canada. And as per Canadian standards avg salaries of 100k OR more out of MBA is a decent salary. Ofcourse current economic scenario especially since Covid and inflation it is debatable if 100-120k salary is really a high salary.
