Career Resources
Go to Ivey.
For context, certain Big 5 banks literally travel to London to conduct their R1 interviews (they may do this for Queen’s too, not sure).
Another thing to mention is that getting into the top clubs isn’t as driven by whether you went to private school like UCC or Crescent School or have nepotism connections. At a place like Ivey, admission to clubs like WIC is much more merit-based in my opinion, and those clubs are extremely important for your recruiting process.
congrats on WIC fund manager, go to queens please for the love of god
Let’s be honest here buddy
If you didn’t go to UCC / Appleby / Crescent
You’re better off going to Ivey, where it’s more meritocratic
Thanks, guess I'll pick Western then. Are you an Ivey student? Would love to chat if so
both are trash, go to TMU
What if I don’t speak Punjabi/Hindi
Then you might be cooked for the investment club -> Left Lane Associates pipeline. You need to present your pitches in Punjabi for the $1 million dollar virtual portfolio. However non-club students still have a strong pipeline into BestBuy/Canadian Tire/Eaton Food Court server.
You will easily land Toronto IB at either IF you put in the effort. just about preference regarding costs, where you rather live, friends, etc.
the real answer is that you’ll be fine at either and should pick the school, city, and program you like more. much more material to your 4 year experience and if you want to land on bay street you can easily do it from either especially if you make it onto the clubs at either but even if not
Go to UBC
Why?
So that you can take 3 gap years just to end up in Big 4 Tax
