Canadian Undergraduate Transfer to US or Ivey HBA?
Currently set to attend the University of British Columbia Sauder School of Business this September. Sauder is a top business school in Canada, but Vancouver has a less than stellar investment banking scene, except for the PMF program. The way I see it I have three options.
1) Finish 4 years at UBC, hopefully get MBB or IB then apply for an MBA in the States. 2) Finish 2 yeards at UBC, if I get rejected from PMF program then transfer to Ivey HBA. 3) Finish a year or two at UBC, then apply for a transfer at a US Business School. Anyone know a good US business school that takes international transfers?
I'd love to hear some advice and input on what I should do. I hope to land an IB position in NYC or SF and I'd love to hear what people think I should do to have the best chance of achieving this dream.
Canadian here. If you want to work in the US asap, your best chance would be to transfer to a top target in the US. Although Ivey does send kids to the US and is the best for that in Canada, the amount is very few - you have better chances at targets in the US. UBC is a good business undergrad school, but really as you said, PMF is the program that shines much more than UBC Sauder.
My $0.02, bust your ass and transfer to a target in the US. That doesn't work out. try and get into PMF and hedge again by applying to Ivey and transferring if you don't get in.
Thanks for the comment. Should I try transferring after my freshman year or sophomore? And do you or anyone else have any suggestions as to what target and transfer-friendly US Schools I should apply to?
