Undergrad: USC Marshall vs Western Ivey
Hi all,
Some background info, I'm a senior in high school, US-Canada Dual citizen and I've been accepted to USC Marshall and Western Ivey. Ivey would be around 80k CAD for 4 years and USC would be 180k CAD. I currently live in Toronto, but hope to enter high finance directly out of undergrad or consulting if that isn't possible. Ideally, I would like to work in New York. Which school is better for in terms of opportunities and is it worth the extra money to go to USC? Also which is better for student experience as a Indian male.
Thanks!
I think Ivey is much better if you can get into the HBA program. They place a lot of students in Toronto and NYC IB. That is if you absolutely kill it there. So if banking is your goal, I would go to Ivey without looking back.
That said, if you are open to more than career options like say accounting/taxation/corpfin, Marshall does a great job placing you in those. This is not to say that banking is impossible from Marshall but it's difficult as opposed to IVey's HBA.
But then again, this all comes down to where you want to live and you've mentioned NY so yes definitely go with Ivey but make sure it's the HBA program. Otherwise, it's not worth it IMO.
Thank you so much for your answer! Definitely going to consider your input in making my decision.
While I don't know about Ivey and can't add any value to that part of the discussion, I can speak about USC as I know a few alums, a few students and live in SoCal. SC has one of the best alumni networks in the world, comparable to the Ivy's. There are many boutiques littered across the LA and Orange County area that are run by USC grads that only hire USC grads. They are a target for LA/OC/SF finance and some people do end up in NYC. If you want a school that has everything: top notch academics, reputation, alumni network, sports, parties, etc, USC is hard to beat. The issue is it's insanely expensive. But if you can afford it, you'll be taken care of as a Trojan.
