Sorry, never ever seen one in banking.
If you're going to make it, it'll likely be after B-School or with a lot of luck and hard work.
You should transfer to Ivey if you have an 80% avg. Even as a 3rd or 4th year transfer it's worth ir if you want to do banking.
Agreed- I know people from Schulich who transferred to Ivey simply due to the recruiting capabilities. I would send an admin at Ivey an e-mail and ask to see how your credit transfer.
met a couple last summer. 2 mid level bankers at GS. 1 at Citi or JPM. i don't remember clearly now but there definitely are
Ivey is a really good school for IB from my experience. While it is unlike to say there are no Ryerson in IBD, i would think it is relatively rare.
Yeah that's what i thought.
I'm wondering though, is going to Ivey just for "getting the interview"? My brother-in-law has really good friends (VP's, MDs) at RBCCM and CIBCCM (he told me he'll pass my resume around for fall recruiting).
Do you think going to Ryerson would be a "negative" impact? I have a 3.9 GPA (major gpa 3.94) and am the president of 1 club at ryerson and the "vp of finance" in another. You think I'll have a chance?
Or is transferring to Ivey my best bet.
Thanks!!
Transfer to Ivey. You will have far more opportunities both in Canada and the States. Some people get 30+ interviews for summer recruiting.
I have seen one associate at a boutique investment bank that did his undergrad at Ryerson but he got his MBA from Laurier. And i've seen maybe one or two Ryerson grads in very small pe funds in Toronto. Reach out to your contacts but I would still say transfer to Ivey. Your stats are very good you should get in.
Banking is a very elite business and in Toronto most of the bankers attended Ivey, McGill, Schulich, Queens, UofT, UBC and Laurier. The problem with Ryerson is the first impression bias you will have to overcome with every investment banker you meet. Alot of bankers will automatically think negatively towards you before they even know you based purely on Ryerson's rep.
Agreed - with your marks and involvement, you will get in for sure. I'm not sure what year you are in, but you should contact Ivey admin ASAP if you are interested in transferring for next year. You are probably a bit past the deadline so you should move quickly and try and contact a program admin if you are serious. Shouldn't be a problem. London is a great city to be a student in.
No banks recruit at Ryerson and this is based on their recruiting schedules posted on their websites. Ryerson is the only school that did not make the list for banks. However, I believe in a couple of years, Ryerson will be come a top tier business school since the whole business program is fairly new to the scene. But for now, Ivey is no doubt your best bet.
What makes you think it'll become a top tier business program?
The fact that I, ryerson-2015, will be attending this upcoming fall.
Thanks for all the advice! Yeah, i was checking the website, I missed the deadline already. I emailed their office and I am going to call thier office on Monday. The only downside is that im in my junior year, but i heard they still accept (3rd year) transfer students. If anything, I'll delay my graduation by a year, no biggie. IBD is definitely where i want to be.
Thanks again everyone!
Update:
I contacted Ivey admins and I'm SOL. They told me I’m way past the deadline for transferring and all spots are full. The deadline was in January. So basically I am stuck at Ryerson, with no SA offers :(. I got an internship at the CRA.
Right now, I’m planning to do the CSC, Wall Street Prep, and network like crazy during the summer.
Any other advice to strengthen my chances for FT recruiting?
Thanks!!
You should call them again and try to speak to someone higher up. They have accepted people well after the deadline before.
Sounds like you are taking the right steps. Networking is more important than CSC and Wall Street Prep. You may as well skip the CSC unless you have already paid.
Thanks for the advice CDNmonkey. No, i didn't pay for the CSC so i will skip that. I'll focus more on networking. I have been contacting Ivey (higher-ups) but nothing as of yet. Still going to try though.
Thanks again!
There are many people in Ivey HBA1 who have already graduated from a related program. I would still continue to contact ivey as you still have a shot of getting in, but if you really want to do banking, it might be worth it to wait and apply for next year.
What CDNmoney says is true about people getting 30+ ibd interviews.

Get out of Ryerson - it sucks. Rather be bluntly honest than lie. Not saying you suck, but the school and its placement into IB suck majorly. I know other people that go/went there and they suck too.
Transfer to Ivey, Queen's, Rotman, Schulich, Waterloo, McGill, anywhere but Ryerson. It sucks.
