Help me make a decision, please
I'm deciding between King Fahd University for Petroleum&minerals (BSc. Finance) and the University of Toronto's Rotman Commerce program (B.Com-finance&economics specialization).
My questions: -do business schools (top 10) look at how famous your school is? Graduate finance schools (London School of Economics,London Business School, etc.)?
-would going to a regionally well known school like KFUPM help in admissions since it will "add to their diversity"? Does the same apply for Master of Finance programs (top 10)?
Does the name of the undergraduate degree(B.Com vs.BSc. Finance) matter in my career or business school admissions? Graduate finance?
Thanks in advance

Please help. I am awaiting your reply.

You've made 3 threads on the topic and there are literally 10+ threads talking about Rotman Commerce. That said, as I'm sure you'd see, Rotman commerce is not great (excellent academic experience and drastically sub-par recruiting). It's better than McMaster but that isn't saying much. However, if you want to work in North America [or do an MBA/MSF in North America/Western world], Rotman is still going to offer you a greater chance than KFUPM. Eurocentrism will always be a dominant undertone for adcoms and recruiters, and they will be biased towards a top 30 comprehensive university in North America like U of T.
King Fahd, assuming you are fairly well connected in Saudi which I imagine you are, will I'm sure garner you opportunities in the Middle East at top firms (should you perform adequately).
All it comes down to is do you want to spend your early career (at least) in NA/Europe or in an Arab League country.
Cheers,
I'd like to understand my region before going elsewhere. This same opinion was echoed by a bunch of others I know in banking/IB.
How difficult would it be to transfer to, say, London or New York, from JPM/GS/BarCap 's Riyadh office? I dont want to spend too much time here, for the early portion of my career atleast.
