LSE Economic History vs. Queen's Commerce vs. Ivey
I am in grade 12 and have been admitted to LSE Economic History, Queen's Commerce and The Richard Ivey School of Business. I am trying to decide between the 3. I want to make sure I get a good job (e.g. investment banking/consulting) out of university with not too much trouble. Here are the pros/cons that I know of each program so far:
Queen's Commerce:
Pros
-Most selective in Canada
-$8000 scholarship
-Nice new building, Goodes Hall
-Average starting compensation total: 70K
-Kington is nicer than London, ON
-Alot of good student groups
-Good student groups
Cons
-Won't meet new people; know many of the people going there
-4 years of business may be boring/unnecessary/too theoretical
-I know a lot of dumb people going there (though this could help me in rankings)
Richard Ivey School of Business:
Pros
-Good repuatation internationally for a Canadian school
-Good alumni network worldwide
-Average starting compensation total: 61,000
-Study whatever I want for the first 2 years and don't worry about grades too much
-$15,000 scholarship
-Case study method is probably something I would be good at
-Nice new building
Cons
-London, Ontario
-Possible that I won't achieve the necessary grade required to enter Ivey in which case I will end up with a B.A.
-Won't meet new people; know many of the people going there
-I know a lot of dumb people going there (though this could help me in rankings)
LSE Economic History
Pros
-90%+ of my peers think it has a better reputation that Ivey or Queen's Commerce--they say "LSE??!!! WOW! No Brainer go there"
-LSE has an international brand name (especially in Asia, apparently)
-Living in London is a good experience; museums etc. (though it could be tough because of crowding etc.)
-Only 3 years of study
-I am good at history and probably better at writing essays than doing math in a commerce program
-More interesting subject content for the most part; I remember sitting in on a business ethics class at Queens--what a joke
-Good speaker seminars etc.
-Meet students from around the world
Cons
-I went on to their website and the list of careers was weak; sales manager and academic mentor positions plague the careers prospects, though there are some good ones like "analyst"
-Starting salary of 32000 pounds (though I don't think it includes bonus and other compensation like Queen's and Ivey)
-Far fewer students get a job right out of university (which I want to do)
-Probably a more rigorous workload than Commerce/Ivey, but I'm not sure
-School cycle is different in Canada, so I'd have to get internships in London
-I have a network of family and friends in Canada that could make it easier to get an internship here than in London
-My highschool is one of the top in Canada and has a good brand-name
-Too much diversity; white people are probably a minority at LSE
-More rigid course offering (UK system is very focussed)
-Some of the housing is quite far from campus
-After first year there is no guaranteed housing: huge cost to living in London!
-Less of a "campus feel"
-Higher cost because I'm a foreign student
