Is Mcgill Desautels great?

Hello,
So I need to make a big decision, but I'm hesitating a lot between 2 uni programs.
I just finished high school with a background in science. I was accepted into desautels bcom at McGill and also a science program (physiotherapy) at another university.
If I chose to go to the physio program, my goal will be to get into med school after. This will take time and effort and also the end goal is not guaranteed since med school admissions are becoming more and more extreme lol.
I'm interested in science, and have no knowledge or background in business.
I'm hesitating because desautels has a pretty good reputation and is a top school in business. I see that as a big opportunity because of the international “fame” of McGill and also the top education there as I want to work outside of Canada (Us, Asia and Europe.)
My family is also pressuring me to go to McGill because of the reputation.
To be honest, one of the big factors I'm considering is also money, and I heard desautels graduates usually do pretty well in that area. However, I talked to someone who told me that most of those benefits are not that true at all. This person told me that most McGill graduates don’t end up in good/excellent positions, as the school isn't really prestigious. This ofc also influence the money aspect. I want to say that money wise I really want to do well, but I'm not thinking of being the next Bezos (for me 150-200k a year close to 30 years old is good.)
I'm sure lots of you will think I have no clue about what I'm saying, and you will probably be right, as I said I really don't have knowledge in the business world (that’s why I'm looking for some advice :) )
So is it worth it to be forgetting about my goal to go to med school one day to attend desautels having in mind I will be guaranteed a good future with a good income (and also saving time, efforts and possibly depression from going the med school path lol). My end goal is to be financially free at a “young” age so that’s why money is important for me.
I'm just trying to know if all the things I heard about desautels are true or false. (And of course I know placement also depends on students, I don't know how well I will do in business, so please respond about those questions keeping in mind the “average McGill graduate” and not the 1% that make it to the absolute top).
Thank you!
