Transferring to Ivey - Need Advice
Hi guys, I’ve been browsing this forum lately and finally decided to make an account to ask some questions that I have.
My Situation: Currently a 1st-year undergraduate student at a 2nd/3rd tier Canadian B-school (Think Schulich, WLU, Rotman (u of t), etc.). I was accepted to and could easily have went to Queen’s/Ivey, although I did not have that opportunity due to issues with parents. Regardless, I am quite aware of the possibility to transfer to Ivey after 2 years here, and my situation will be different by then.
My Goal: Graduate of Ivey HBA, eventually a F/T in Toronto (big 5 or BB).
The grades required for ibd and/or Ivey (3.8+) are a non-issue at this stage, I am already ahead/set in this department.
Pertaining to work experience, I currently have 4 years of significant (and verifiable) experience as a co-founder of a family business (some tiers above that after school job flipping burgers).
This summer, it is likely that I can get a PWM internship (unpaid) this summer, and work towards (minimum) a big four auditing internship or f500 finance internship in my 2nd year (ibd in year 2 is bordering on impossible where I’m coming from, presidents/execs of the finance club here get big 4 accounting jobs at best). I am also considering a research assistant position for next year (w/ finance profs).
As for ECs, I am involved with the usual groups…investment fund, finance club, etc, nothing crazy at this stage, unfortunately. Need advice here: will work experience eventually override ECs? Or do I have to join a bunch of random clubs ASAP? I already am set with finance-related EC’s, and feel that other clubs are more on the "useless" side and won't really add much value to my resume (after a certain point, no space for random rubbish clubs).
Any specific advice regarding how I can maximize my chances in general will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Stop worrying - you'll be fine. Your marks are good enough, and as long as you can demonstrate leadership in your application (either through your work experience or ECs) you'll get into Ivey no problem.
And I'm gonna take a stab at it and say you go to U of T.
