untitled123mcgill isnt prestigous, in some circles, concordia b school is considered better

So you have a 4.0 from Princeton and work as a third year associate at a hedge fund? Let me guess, you were so smart, that you were hired directly into GS's PIA/SSG group and then moved to Citadel/DE Shaw/Perry Capital because you were "so smart" that GS just didn't have enough future potential for you?

...more like a Concordia graduate who works in accounting

When you read about 'Rotman' you have to be careful - the quality and results (job placement/rates) is worlds apart between its undergrad program (not as good) vs. its MBA program (strong). The problem with the undergrad program is that the students don't receive the same kind of attention or help from their career management team and only the very top students get interviews (but at the same time, because they don't get help, they generally aren't as 'polished' vs. Ivey, Queen's, Schulich, etc. and are disadvantaged in that sense).

For undergrad it's:
Ivey, Queen's (minor gap), McGill...

Only comp sci? How about Math/Business Double degreers?

I'm sorry but do you have some sort of comprehension problem? People answered every question you had in your other large thread.

I would say that the experience in S&T is very different from the one you would get from IBD.  Though others say if you're good, you'll get offers from both, I am more in favor of someone who knows what they want, and won't dabble in other stuff.  Start by looking over the website below, I think it would provide a good perspective to someone in your shoes, who is still in secondary school.

For the question about sports, focus on what you have, not won't have.  That's more important when applying for internships/full-time spots.
