Kenneth Woods vs Honours Investment @ McGill.

Kenneth Woods is not better than Honours Investment Management prog. @ McGill. Neither is better than Ben Graham Value Investing @ Ivey. JMSB is a non-target, about the same as the non-target I came from before I transferred. Yes you could network your way into a decent Bay Street job from Concordia but I'd head off to Ivey (class of 2014) or Queens if I were you. Clearly you want to succeed south of the border so staying at John Molson (yes I know the Kenneth Woods prog) is a CLEAR disadvantage no matter what your marks are. Come play with the big boys.

Being a McGill alumni myself, McGills name is carried very far into W.Street/B.Street. Do a LinkedIn search for McGill alumni and Concodia Alumni in wall street. Based on this it should be pretty obvious where to go.

No offense but Concordia, even JMSB, and even that program, are terrible. I think there are 10 Concordia alum on Wall Street. Go to McGill.

McGill >>>>>>> Concordia. Nobody outside Montreal/T.O. knows what Concordia is. Transfer ASAP. Concordia is also like the f-ckin Gaza Strip it's disgusting.

Bottom line...go to McGill bud. Good luck.

hahaha.. is this a joke ? a 4 @ JMSB doesn't mean shit son.

I myself did my undergrad in Montreal and grad school in Toronto. I've worked on Bay street and I can tell you there are no influential people here from JMSB. So if there's not even a good representation of JMSB alumni in the financial world of Canada, imagine new york ?

I laughed when I read i_excited's post. But what he says is so true.

Oh and I'd also like to add :

You probably went to John Abbott and Concordia was your only option ?? lol I don't know why JA kids think concordia's the shit. Won't get you anywhere in life.

Now, good luck on trying to get yourself out of your own mess.

Bottom line. Ivey is a hand and a fist above everybody, then Queens and McGill. Concordia is a joke just like Carleton (Sprott) and Ryerson (TR) and MacMaster (DeGroote). Don't waste your time being a big fish in a small pond if you really have a 4.0.

N.B. If I was in Montreal and couldn't go to McGill I'd take HEC Montreal over JMSB in a heartbeat.

lol seriously, even in Montréal, look at any major company: it's a big big club of McGill and HEC Montreal graduates with some people from abroad thrown in, and very, very few JMSB graduates. No comparison.
