York (Schulich)

York's Recruiter List

so by this logic, York is ranked higher than other Canadian schools and compares to the top American schools. I still think Bweek rankings are more reliable.

I might be applying there cause am in TO now

One could certainly argue that BW is more reliable but I am not so sure this is true for the "international" ranking. One aspect of BW that makes me a bit uneasy is that the total number of international schools evaluated is quite small and there are few schools (if any) in the southern hemisphere.

thats a good point regarding the International schools. Its not as focused as the US schools. I will check out the other rankings and balance all.

A partial explanation might be that York is younger than University of Toronto and Western Ontario. Academic reputations especially for the "person on the street" can take a long time to develop.

International rankings have often viewed York as stronger than Western and having a similar rank to that of Toronto (as always, I urge readers not to take these rankings too seriously).

For instance, EIU 2004 ranked York far ahead of Western (#22 vs. #75!).
FT2005 again places York ahead of Western (#22 vs. #34) and just behind Toronto. FT2004 again placed York ahead of Western (#22 vs. #29) and near Toronto.

A look at CEO production might be informative as well. Note how two major financial services firms in Canada are headed by York MBAs (Scotiabank and CIBC).

Sounds feasible - although it's easier for a new player to break into the market with a strong brand name behind them and good marketing: it's working for Oxford Said.

You make a good point regarding Said. However, Said's parent institution is one of the best known universities in the world so it has an advantage relative to a school like Schulich in which the parent university has existed for less than 50 years.

Oxford has a very good brand name but Hjort, when you talked about elite schools, you never mentioned anything about Said. How would you view it?

thanks!
