There are very few undergrad UoT (Rotman) placements. Nothing against them but they're mostly a Big4 feeder. Shulich places incredibly well for a school associated with YorkU (a few come to mind at BAML, Big5, GHL) Laurier has historically had the advantage in IB co-op recruiting but Waterloo's rising reputation is beginning to show. Notable placements include Q, GS NY/SF, Lazard and Evercore. A few alumni have recently broken into MF PE. If you were to make a safe bet on recruiting, I would probably lean towards Ivey/Queens. I'd probably be slightly biased towards Queens because at this point, the recruiting process is so accelerated that students get their offers before they even enter Ivey... I don't actually know too many McGill guys on the street but there's definitely a presence in the US. No idea where Bill gets his facts about "UW being a #2 for engineering" unless he's following some BS Macleans rankings. UW is the best Silicon Valley feeder in Canada when you consider CS, SWE and ECE. Not saying engsci isn't incredible but if you're trying to to break into a FANG job, you're probably better off at UW. Most domestic students choose Waterloo over UoT if given both offers into engineering.

Edit: Rotman MBA is a different beast from undergrad

 

Queens/Ivey are the top spots, McGill closely following. Waterloo, Laurier and the dual degree between them are akin to semi-targets, decent placement but nothing in crazy volume.

UBC Sauder's PMF programme is tops, Shulich sometimes shows up, not a big number of UofT undergrad.
