Best target school: Queens/Schulich/UofT

1. Queens
2. Schulich
3. UofT

I would say Queens, U of T then Schulich, just because in the scenario that IB isn't for you, at Schulich only BCG came out for consulting, while U of T had a lot more. Not sure the numbers for other schools, but Schulich had around 10 - 15 FT offers in IB, with 5 - 10 SA offers into IB, with 0 M/B/B type offers, if it helps. If people have U of T or Queen's numbers you can compare.

The guy was asking purely for investment banking recruiting in which case I think Queens, Schulich then University of Toronto (St. George) is accurate.

I attend St. George, and we definately did not send over ten people into investment banking. Based on my buddies in Queens, it seems they send a good amount into the American firms, whereas Schulich is much better amongst the big six sending only a couple into the bulge brackets.

Just my observations. Although through good grades, networking and all that same stuff you hear again and again you can break in from any of these schools imho.

Queens is by far the best to go to. U of T and Schulich don't even come close. I've got friends in both and they've always complained about the lack of opportunities (one of them is transferring over to Cornell).

I don't know about "by FAR the best."

I mean Queen's sends what 15+ people to banking each year. Alex's numbers for Schulich seem to be accurate so they send like 10-15. And UofT sends maybe 5 or so?

The only school in Canada you can say that has "far" better placements is Ivey with over 30 placements..

Queens no question, followed by either based on your preference for the school/campus life, etc... however, if you go to uoft/schulic, be sure to be more proactive throughout your degree in terms of setting yourself up for a successful recruiting season when the time comes

I totally agree with i-wanker. Here at schulich the career centre is terrible. Most of us are doing all the leg work, there was only two IB SA this year [and she got a connection], there was one sales and trading and equity research....I mean it is fine that we have to do the leg work but when you compare to the more active recruitment departments from UofT and Ivey [I don't know about Queen's] you can become fustrated.

they were referring to undergrad not MBA iyados. And I'm not sure where you got the "only 2 IB SA" stats from for the MBAs because I can name plenty of Summer Associates from Schulich. Including one that got into Goldman NY IBD, he's one of the heads of your SFA finance club I beleive.

Go to whatever school you want and then apply to Ivey after two years.

.

Queen's is the top of that bunc (Ivey on top of queens) then Schulich is ok but not as good recruitment/some ppl efing HATE it, and you'll either fail rotman, or have a low gpa ebcuase of U of T's hatred of undergrads.
