>Laurier is the only respectable BBA, that one?

Yep, because of pic related and
1) More scholorships, lots of free dough(cheaper tuition by a lot than Ivey or Queen's Commerce)

2) Has much better co-op than any other biz school, let alone ivey, schulich or Queens which don't have it at all. Much better for money(graduate with little to no debt) AND like a year of experience which makes up for any prestige loss compared to other schools

3) Is actually not that bad, at least by linkedin stats for IB it's tied with McGill and above Ivey/Schulich, which is very surprising
>>
>>977206

Very cool, I always thought Laurier was below Queens / Western, but that it was #3. Nice, so it's tied with McGill, interesting.

Well, if you are going there, then all the best to you mate, 3 of my friends are in that BBA program, and they love it. Also, the women at Laurier, oh my.

>Well, if you are going there, then all the best to you mate, 3 of my friends are in that BBA program, and they love it.

Cool, I'm not sure if i'm going there yet(I've still yet to apply or anything) but I'm considering it.

The breaking deal compared to Queen's or something(which I wouldn't get into anyway) is that it actually has co-op and doesn't have ridiculous tuition. Kind of a lot better to graduate with 1 year of experience or whatever and no debt than with like $80k debt and an arguably more prestigious degree imo.

It's kind of a shame too because I've always heard people talking shit about it and everyone think it's garbage but it really seems underrated and not half bad tbqh.
>>
>>977212
>Our girls are sluts, and they're rich!

it's not like ill be getting laid senpai

smdh. Any advice on a decent uni for compsci btw?

I was considering doing compsci but I feel as though it's a bad idea unless you go to Waterloo(which i can't). Might as well just keep it as a hobby for now and study something else
>>
>>977214

I do my work experience during the Summer time, it's not baked into the program sure, but we have this Career Centre for Commerce students only, and they get basically 80% of students jobs for the Summer, and most go to the best places in Canada. I did my first internship at Deloitte in Summer 2015, I was part of their (very prestigious) Global Intern Program, one of the few from Canada that made it, I was in Germany for the entire Summer term, and earned a great salary + many great experiences since they setup a tour of the country and different districts for a few of us who went there. I didn't do much except mainly paperwork, and meeting with clients before my boss walked in, and just shadowed my boss most of the time, and listened in on meetings for companies we were consulting for and with.

http://www2.deloitte.com/global/en/pages/careers/articles/gip.html

I also thought the co op thing would be a problem, but it's really not, you can get a job anywhere, and it's all on your own, not with the co op help. You're basically applying for a short term employment opportunity instead of having one 'given' to you like in Laurier / Waterloo, so it's not as restrictive, and you can work anywhere you want.

But, other than that, Laurier BBA is a great program, I was considering it as my second choice if I never got into Queens. My third would have been Western.
>>
>>977214
>>977221

For Summer 2016, I've already got an internship offer from RBC, but I'm waiting to see if TD offers me anything by January 2016, if not, I'll take RBC, but I'd prefer TD.

But yeah, no matter where you go, as long as you're networked well, you should be fine I guess. Going to a top-tier school will definitely help getting jobs though.
>>
>>977221
Ah nice.

Yeah Memeier really does not seem half bad. At first i was thinking what kind of no-name cukk school is this tbqh

I kind of want to do compsci or software engineering tho, is it worth or better to keep as hobby and study something else?
>>
>>977227

I don't think CS is useful as an undergrad, but that's just me, my reason being is, you can learn CS on the side, spending like a few hours a day on Coursera, and that TreeHouse one, and then just reading books, and you should eventually get to a point where you can do most things a CS student can do. After that, if you really have a passion for it, you can self-study even more and become better. But let's say you go into CS and you hate it, people will tell you that the first year is the boring part, and then after first year they'll say second year is boring, and then you'll basically be halfway done, and hating what you're doing.

That's why I didn't go into CS, because I like Finance / Management much more, but I'm self-studying CS on the side, because my program has some CS courses, and I have the option of taking some more in elective courses, as well as my own free time. (You have a lot of free time in Kingston, everything is pretty slow-paced, compared to Toronto).

But I mean, no one can tell you which is better, you just have to decide, do something and learn CS which can be learned by 5 year olds, or learn CS, and then learn nothing else?
>>
It seriously does not matter which university you go to. There's no such thing as university "prestige" in Canada, the only downside for going to a less prestigious university is that they might not have good co-op programs in the middle of nowhere, Ontario.

And for fucks sakes, if you're going to get a degree don't get a generic degree like "business administration". Get a STEM degree or accounting/finance with intentions to get advanced designations or don't even bother going. If you want to be a businessman, you don't need a degree. Just get out there and do business.
>>
>>977229
>you can learn CS on the side, spending like a few hours a day on Coursera, and that TreeHouse one

Not really, there's a big difference between programming and computer science, learning a meme language like Python is easy but actually going depth into computer science and learning C++ is a lot harder.

I was just more wondering if it makes sense to do if you're not going to go to Waterloo. If i could get in UW I'd do it without a thought but they don't take degenerates as far as i know

>>977230
>There's no such thing as university "prestige" in Canada, the only downside for going to a less prestigious university is that they might not have good co-op programs

Yeah I've heard that before and thought about it, there really isn't too many top tier universities in Canada. Even the top ones only give a slight chance to get to Wallstreet if you're studying finance(according to Wallstreetoasis and others at least).

I've never been more proud of this country. We are dedicated to showing the world that we are a welcoming, inclusive nation of open minded, loving people, who are committed to climate change. The truth is these refugees are a net benefit to our society -- literally every expert had been saying this on CBC. Syrian refugees are less likely to commit terrorism than our own home grown Muslims. That goes to show, even in 2015, we have a long way to go to make this group feel more welcome.

Canada is choosing to make a bold statement as our neighbors to the south bicker over a measly 10k refugees. Please America, let us take them for you since you're obviously too bigoted to show any compassion. They will become Canadians. And they will be treated like Canadians. After all, in the words of the newly christened prime minister Justin Trudeau "a Canadian is a Canadian is a Canadian. Sunny ways friends, sunny ways".

But it's not shitposting, it's analytically comparing the options instead of just saying "Muh better school muh better school".

You have no argument against it except for it "it's a meme degree because it's not the school i decided in my head is best/am going to be attending".

>do i like it?
pros: cheap tuition (less than 9 grand a year, includes a bunch of opt outable things like dental insurance and stuff too), cheap rent (629 a month for an apt in a high rise across the street from campus, amazing view), almost all big companies recruit out of mcgill, alumni all over the world, TONS of extra curricular activities / leadership positions to pad your resume, huge drinking and partying culture, can buy alcohol at 18 legally but realistically can get it earlier as long as you aren't baby faced (ive never gotten carded)

cons: because mcgill applications are based solely on grades, applicants have a tendency not to be very well rounded. a lot of students have trouble handling a few leadership positions in clubs while achieving high academic performance at the same time. students tend to "bite off more than they can chew". there is a huge number of people that can't speak english very good, not sure how they passed the test to get in, exchange students tell us that McGill is much more academically demanding than their own universities, tons of group work means that you have to rely on incompetent people to determine your GPA. forced bell curve to maintain class averages at around a 65 to 74.99, translating to a B- to B+ range or 2.70 to 3.30/4.00.

a lot of the students aren't focused on GPA (and if they are, I feel sad for them because their GPA is shit lol), and bank on the fact that good EC's and networking will get them good jobs. A high GPA at McGill really makes you stand out, but it isn't strong enough to land you interviews. I think the ideal student would be around a 3.7 (80% average) with strong ECs. If you're looking to get into grad school (Master in finance or GCPA etc) might be a bit tough with the forced bell curve

>Ignoring the rest of my post

I mentioned co-op experience, the differences in debt upon graduation AND mentioned that it's not an entirely shit-tier school for Business. You only seemed to notice the last part.

And yes we were talking about Undergrad you complete fucking retard. Did I ever mention MBA? ... It was clearly implied.

>Plus if you want to be anything more than an analyst (bottom of the hierarchy) in Investment Banking, you need an MBA

OK? I can go to any more prestigious school for my MBA. Undergrad is widely considered to be irrelevant as long as it's accredited and not shit-tier and only MBA that significantly matters what school you attended.

Most people go to a State school for their undergrad and then go to Ivy Leagues like Harvard for MBA, instead of going to both for undergrad and MBA like a retarded pleb spending 3x as much money.

Yes it's top-rated but the difference between the top 3 or 4 isn't as much as you think. They're all good schools that give you a good chance at working in IB if you work hard.

Also I said that CO-OP MAKES UP FOR ANY DIFFERENCE IN PRESTIGE, SINCE YOU'LL HAVE A DECENT DEGREE + 1 YEAR EXP MINIMUM. Are you this retarded or something? Stop trying, Queen's recruiter/faggot who thinks sucking their cock will get them to accept you.

>>
>>979327
If you listen to yourself, you are literally arguing for Laurier and saying that their one-year co-op is better than the "prestigious" programs that come in at the top at the international level. This is what you are trying to convince people to believe. Even at the undergrad level, Laurier is dirt compared to Queens, Rotman, Schulich and Ivey.

oh and I got my early admission already faggot.

correction, Ivey got no undergrad. My bad

>>979366
>Laurier is dirt compared to Queens, Rotman, Schulich and Ivey

Why is it dirt if it's better than them all except for Queens in IB on LinkedIn? Your entire argument... if you could even call it that is that "Laurier is bad because it's bad", the only way you've tried to "prove it" is by showing MBA rankings.

I didn't think the one year co-op is the only reason it's better, I'm quite frankly surprised you had high enough marks for early acceptance with your piss-poor reading comprehension. I've said numerous times that the lack of debt you come out from the program nearly guaranteed with is a big plus and just about being guaranteed a year of relevant experience is really helpful looking for a job, much more than whatever minuscule perceived prestige having Queen's on your resume would get you.

I mean if your parents are paying for it all then it makes sense but if you actually need to take out OSAP loans and a line of credit to pay for a marginally better program then ok...

Also, good for you for going to a school with coop. That's actually one of my biggest regrets as McGill doesn't really have a coop program for my major.

I know students at Brock that got big 4 placements. If I could go back in time I would go to a college with a coop program in the city that I want to work in after graduation.

Coop experience is just so fucking useful. There's NOTHING like the feeling of having a secured work placement after graduating and just coasting through school (as I've been told) and networking in a city other than the one you go to school in is pretty expensive.
>>
>>979875
Thanks senpai.

That's what I figured. Getting relevant exp(pretty much guaranteed as long as you got over 3.2 gpa or whatever it is) and earning a decent amount of money is no joke.

It really seems like the dealbreaker in most cases, I'd imagine it could make the difference between someone from a so-called "shit-tier school" getting a job and someone from a better school but without practical exp.

Well then I'm glad that I have no debt, I am employed, and the salary is pretty incredible, so I guess I'll just deal with the work, which as I already said, I enjoy.

Though the law 'bubble' hasn't burst, It wouldn't really have mattered if it had, because the kind of people who give up before even trying in that manner would never have succeeded in law anyway.

Is it harder to get a top job these days? Yes. Is there more competition? Yes. But there are always going to be very rewarding positions for those who have the drive to obtain them.

Re-do your HS courses tbqh. Get 90 average so you get access to a bunch of scholarships and pretty much guaranteed accepted into any non top-tier Uni, although you'll have a good chance at them too maybe.
>>
>>982661
>>982657
Wtf why are you giving this shitty advice.

Go to community college for the first two years, get SICK grades, and then transfer to a good university for the last two. I'd recommend you do this over even going to an expensive university for all four years. Your resume only says where you got your degree, and what third and fourth year classes you took.
>>
>>982679
That works well in the US from what I hear but in Canada you almost always get barely, if any transfer credits. So you'll at most get accepted into 2nd year and probably only 1st.

The articulation agreements are generally very limited and shitty and if you look on ONtransfer website you'll notice they don't offer any transfer credits for like 95% of the transfers.
>>
>>982686
You just have to plan far ahead and make sure all the credits are transfer-able.

In BC (Victoria/Vancouver) you can transfer credits in basically any first & second year required courses from camosun/capilano/etc, to UBC, UVic, SFU. There are even a lot of programs for engineering, medical, business, etc. students that are specifically designed for transfer to the local big university. Not sure how bad it is in Ontario, but if you're not overly picky about your final university then it can't be too hard to pull it off.
>>
>>982695
Idk about other provinces but in Ontario it does not work one bit. Most universities even fail to recognize other unis credits for transfers let alone community colleges.

On ONtransfer(government website) you can see that almost no credits from 3 year diplomas transfer to non-shit unis(and even them it's very specific and arbitrary it seems). Although I'm unsure if it's legit and maybe you need to contact uni directly but it's a good telling sign it won't be very easy.

And how are you suppose to get *quality* work experience while going to a shit-tier school without having a relative who owns a firm? The better the school the better your placements usually and more opportunities.

Some schools are just better, both in networking, professor-quality and students.
>>
>>983708
Any university program with a co op or internship option is fine
>>
>>983712
Except that some have shit-tier placements and that's if you even get in because there's some much competition.

From what I hear UofT is terrible for this, very limited co-op's and you have to be pretty much top of class for a chance.
>>
>>983719
Source? I don't know very much about U of T, but isn't there a ton of co op opportunities at the scarborough campus?

Don't have a source but it's just what a lot of people say.

Also especially at UTSC they having a grading curve and getting good marks is really difficult. And UTSC is pretty shit-tier, filled with Indians and overall not very good. St.George is the only prestigious campus.

Hype it up as a specialized business degree that "Will put you ahead of university graduates in the automotive industry". Then they teach you nothing about business except basic accounting and a few other things. I literally had a class that was all corporate sponsors coming in and talking to us. 2 fucking hours a week was dedicated to listen to someone plug their business.

And the worst part?
A mandatory class that was basically read Dale Carnegie's shitty, irrelevant book and how to properly set up a table for a formal dinner. They actually get the head of the waiter program to come down and EXPLAIN how to set everything up and what fork is for what. The only reason this course exists is because the program sponsors where complaining that the students they hired didn't know how to eat properly and it was embarrassing.

There is -so. much.- more I could complain about, but to sum it all up -10/10 will never, ever recommend to anyone, ever.

Ok.

I had this one professor, probably the 2nd worst I had. This guy was fucking EVERYTHING you didn't want in a teacher. Heavy German accent, couldn't tell a joke without falling on his ass laughing before it was finished, read directly off the slides, every 3 hour class was a minimum of 4, our major project was worth 40% of our mark and had zero rubric and started AFTER the drop date, and he also had "modules" that were always in excess of 40 pages that he expected every person to read before class, and he would never explain anything in them.

The worst part, however, was the fact that he was teaching a class about inter-departmental management. He was also a former business owner who freely admitted his mismanagement of his companies departments was the main reason it failed.

The funniest part though, was the fact that he was retiring a year after I was done his class. However, one champion among men went to the dean about how terrible the class was and the fact that there was a project that could basically auto-fail you if you didn't get it nearly perfect, which no rubric. Plus, he did one part of it right beside another person at the exact same time, handing in damn near the exact same thing, and they both had different marks, by like 15%. I read both papers, no way they should have been different.

But anyway, this guy raises such a shit fit that the Dean kicked him out one day and had a talk with our class. Turns out, this class that only this guy taught, hadn't actually been reviewed in a good number of years, and they had no idea he dropped the rubric for this big assignment and all the extra reading he expected of us. Long story short, they forced him into an early retirement as everyone passed the course with at least a 75%. It was great.

I also had a marketing class that was literally taught out of the text book. The teacher would park himself behind the desk, open the book and cycle the slides along with the pages. We all caught on after like 2 weeks of it, and class attendance slowly ground to nearly nothing. I heard there was actually a week where there was 1 person that actually showed up and the teacher was pissed. I stopped going halfway through the semester. He introduced the big project that we had to do and that was it for me. I just crammed the night before the tests and I actually did better on those ones. The day we handed in our assignments we had full class attendance before the class was supposed to start. He showed up, asked for the assignments and everybody left save for like 5 people. It was great. The final exam was just a cluster fuck. It was 30 mins of everybody talking because this guy had no idea how to control the classroom and basically sat there until a group of us told everyone to shut up so we could get it over with. He actually watched 2 frenchmen pull out a fucking cheat sheet and pass it back and forth the whole time. It was pretty pathetic.

Government payed for it actually, being partially native american and all that. Having a free ride with no debt to anyone in my family is nice.

Quite frankly, I'm not that great in school. I'm a smart person, but I don't do well when it comes to writing a paper. I can do it, but I hate the formality of it, having to cite a source every time you fart gets pretty annoying. The best papers I've ever written have been informal ones that don't require me to cite a source, because I read EVERYTHING I can get my hands on, and go from there, so it makes it tricky to cite a source when I did all my research at the same times 5 hours ago.

Plus there was some genuinely interesting characters that kept it refreshing. I'm posting the worst, but there are several professors that I actually, truly respect and they are, without a doubt, the best in their field. Hell, I had one prof that would fuck off all around the world in his free time. I know once he ended class early so he could make it to the airport to go to Russia, and he landed, slept for 5 hours, and showed up to class when he got back the next week.

Its just the clowns they choose to employ they make it terrible, especially the ones with businesses in their pockets.

UBCO:

On campus (prices from memory, meal-plan mandatory for single room and trad housing):
-$570/month for single room with communal bathroom/kitchen
-$640/month for traditional housing (single room with a bathroom connected with one other room, communal kitchen)
-$700/month for quad (kitchen included)
-$820/month for studio

Off campus:
-$700-800/month in this apartment complex a short 10 min walk up hill close to campus
-$500-650/month for apartments/houses 10-20 min drives away
-$700-800/month downtown

I find that there's always a same proportion of motivated/unmotivated people in every campus. I've even visited U of Waterloo where I've seen inspired try-hard first years who does business case studies and also kids who just want to get their degree and get out. I think you just have to hang out with the right crowd and the right place, and in the end it's about how much opportunities you take advantage of.

Your surroundings definitely influence who you are, but it's up to you to take up extracurriculars/initiatives to make your own difference.

Thanks for all the info man.

I definitely know that there's gonna be lazy 4chan-shitposter tier people on every campus, but I ended up doing over 90% of the work in a group project with 3 other members. Every group also had to give a presentation and my finished project was more complete/polished than all but a few others. I looked into the clubs and the only one that interested me was the game-dev club, and the only person who has started their own project was the leader of it.

I'm sure there are motivated people that go to UVic. I even saw someone with a top post on some programming subreddit showing off something he made, and had "2nd year uvic comp sci student" on his Github profile. It's just disappointing how nobody I've met has hobbies, and hardly anyone is passionate about anything.

All that being said, it isn't the only reason why I want to get away from UVic. I just didn't want to sound like a bitch in my OP.

How does an 18 year old who has not even finished 1 semester at a school be knowledgeable enough to be able to rank 6 schools? How exactly does that work?
>>
>>987812

I didn't apply to Rotman actually and I considered Schulich over Ivey because I don't like 2+2

It's just reputation based. That being said if you study at Laurier you can always transfer into Queen's if your GPA is high enough or go to Ivey after 2 years
>>
l m a o this t h r e a d
>>
>>987816
How tho, I don't really see how its reputation is bad at all.

according to le linkedin it's 2nd for IB and co-op program is pretty great.

Paying $16k/yr tuition for no co-op seems quite foolish imho tbqh. I'd rather not.
>>
>>987816

I didn't apply or look into Desautels so I wouldn't be able to place it. I've heard it's good because of high mark cutoff but everyone is autismal

Sauder is for BC kids that don't want to come here
>>
>>987822
tbqh it seems like a good program at anotherwise poor school.

Similar to YorkU and Schulich.
>>
>>987821

It's just common knowledge that for ib recruiters queen's and ivey are the best and they have the most placements outside of Canada

For consulting laurier isn't even on the map, also

idk what Linkedin is up to, they also rank McGill and UofT above Waterloo for accounting which is obvious bs

If you're not terrible Queen's gives you summer placements, and ECs here are developed to a level where they connect you to recruiters. co-op is a big meme that loo and laurier like to parade around

The cost is pretty high, that's true, but 96% of people are employed instantly though so there's no issue of really high debt unless you are unskilled at managing finances, plus if you're a poorfag they give you bursaries

>>
>>987832
Join LSIF senpai get your butt into co-op too.

What's your GPA rn?
>>
>>987833

of course

every business school has a big student asset management organization

Sauder's is the most intense though, you are admitted by school officials and they have 7mm aum

LSIF=Laurier Students in Finance?

Laurier Student Investment Fund.

Go talk to the fags running it, suck their clitoris/dick to join.

How are you liking it so far btw? What clubs u in senpai

>>987836
Do you really think the 3 of us in this thread are going to get memed if we graduate Memeier?

I figure if you do co-op + good marks and network hella hard it shouldn't be very hard to get a c o z y job.
>>
>>987839
I'm not in any clubs rn, should I try hard with clubs in Winter term to help pad the co-op application?
>>
>>987839

no you're just going to find it harder to get a super super placement (even at Queen's you have to really be at the top 15% of the class to get super positions)

Laurier BBA is not bad by any means... by the time you graduate it'll probably be better than rotman/schulich considering its upward trend and how much money is being poured into it

I actually know a guy who got rejected from Laurier but accepted to Rotman this year

It's certainly a good school but I'm obliged to say Queen's is better

Laurier master race, $30/hr co-op while you morons are playing $35k total per year of HBA lmao

*yawn* Don't worry though, I might come to Ivey for my MBA which my employer will graciously pay for almost entirely, who happens to also be the same as my co-op placement.

Maybe when you pay off your $120k loans you might be able to finally spend some on yourself, iveykek! Don't worry though I'll be thinking of you when I retire to the Bahamas thanks to all my amassed wealth thanks to a top tier program and supreme co-op.

Stop samefagging, man.

Everyone knows Ivey and Queens are in a league of their own. If you want to land a BB IBD job you go to Ivey or Queens.

Money isn't a factor when you're working towards a job that pays 100 large out of U. Maybe if you want to work some BO job pushing mutual funds then yeah go to Laurier and live happily ever after.

Oh and you've got co-op? No way. You must have some super sweet accounting jobs that you can get. That's awesome man. Congrats

There's a reason Ivey is 25k and a BBA is like 7k m8 - clout. Almost everyone who is anyone from Canada in finance went to Ivey.

You are a subhuman, have fun working for your boss who graduated Laurier. Oh by the way we have a new $100million building, meanwhile your meme school spends all its money on marketing and shilling on the internet lmao.

I have a co-op at barometer capital and you will be working for 30 years at McD's to pay off your loans.

Delusional Queens/Ivey kids lel. Your schools are only marginally better for getting jobs at BAY STREET. If you want to land a BB IBD you go to NYU/Columbia buddy. BB look at International schools all the same.
>>
>>989191
This.

Retards literally think that because they read their school is better and it costs twice as much that they have a better chance at Wallstreet when they will be working alongside other school graduates except with more debt.

I'm pretty sure any correlation with better jobs and Queens/Ivey has more to do with the people who do these programs tend to be rich and/or overachievers so they probably have jobs lined up, and you can easily do similar if you work hard in another school.

Honestly does it even matter that much WITHIN Canada?

I've got a feeling as long as you get good marks, co-op, network and actually show interest it really doesn't.

Pretty sure it's better to just go for whichever school you prefer, has a better co-op program and is convenient for you.

Nowhere else is there such a big distinction between the faculties.

If you look at the hiring reports for each of these schools, you'll see Ivey has the largest proportion of kids working in Corporate Finance, and with the highest starting salaries (indicative of IB/PE/VC/HF work).

Meanwhile BMOS is full of mouthbreathers who get freaked out with those debit:credit charts from the 2nd year mandatory business class

Yeah, it's where all the sports jocks who don't do think good well end up (not as if debt credit account+-*/ing requires much thinking). They've enrolled not to learn, but to be at Western and party with a valid excuse (I'm "studying" something there).

Ivey, transferred from a tier 3 biz school in my third year (with a certificate in biz sustainability lol)

Love case study work, it's a lot more fun than lectures. The ivey douchebag stereotype is pretty true, but I probably feel that way because I'm a bit of an introvert
>What job do you hope to get out of it
I was hoping to get mgmt consulting, but probably won't get it. Something corporate in Toronto hopefully in analytics. Still in the recruiting process.

I've seen both sides of the coin in a low tier biz school, and at Ivey. tbqh, most prestigious firms that recruit at ivey don't even have my old school on their radar. There were no banks or mgmt consulting firms, and barely any cpg or accounting firms recruiting at my old school.

imho, Ivey's great if you know that you want to go into IB or mgmt consulting. It doesn't seem like it has that big of a leg up on second tier schools when it comes to other industries. I should probably be studying instead of shitposting on biz

Just finished Finance at OttawaU.

What a fucking mistake I made. I didn't realize when I started that career centre/networking opportunities are VASTLY different between schools.
We once had a high-up guy at TD say he'd reserve 5/7 of his summer internships for students from Ottawa. A month later he left TD and the recruiting people were just like "Yeah, we're gonna recruit at Queens and Rotman where we went to school lolololol."
One guy I sorta know who works at TD said "We never hire anyone who isn't recommended by someone from inside TD, preferably from inside this department."

I wish I had gone to Queens.

Why are people saying that Laurier is equal to or better than Queen's/Ivey, especially for shit like IB? Ivey is objectively better than Queen's, which is objectively better than the other schools. Of course there's exceptions and outliers to all this shit (looking at you UBC PMF).

Recruiters at various banks that I've spoken with say they recruit roughly 1/3 Ivey, 1/3 Queen's, and 1/3 every other school. There's a few others where it's ~50/50 Ivey and Queen's, with the odd person from another school getting in.

How is there even an argument here?
