A new perspective on Canadian target schools

After the visa restrictions, thanks to trump, Ivey business school pipeline to NY is semi-closed. Back then Ivey's placement was comparable to a t20 in the US. Do think that Ivey will ever recover?

Personally, I think this is hugely damaging to Ivey’s reputation. The major draw to QCom and Ivey is stateside recruiting, which is now pretty much wiped out as you said... It is very possible to recruit into the Canadian banks, and even global banks with Canadian offices (MS, JPM, GS, CS, etc.) as a “non-target.” I have experienced this first hand. As of right now, I think paying 3x tuition for Ivey is a waste of money.

 

I'm not quite experienced with Canadian BB offices recruiting, but I would imagine that recruiting from top-target like Ivey is a cake walk compared to "non-targets". For those who afford it, Ivey is a great deal.

Please correct me If I'm wrong

 

Getting into MBB anywhere is not cakewalk. For example, if you're at Wharton for example, recruiting for MBB is a cakewalk relative to a person in Kansas State.
