UofT Rotman Commerce reputation in Asia vs. Ivey Business School
Hello guys, I am a Grade 12 student who holds both offers from Rotman Commerce and Ivey Business School. I am fluent in both Mandarin and English, and I hope to work in investment banking in Asia (Hong Kong, Singapore or Shanghai). Which school do you guys think has a better reputation in Asia? Or should I apply for the master's programs in the UK or the US after undergraduate studies?
Based on the most helpful WSO content, here's what you need to know:
Reputation in Asia:
Placement and Alumni Network:
Master's Programs Consideration:
Recommendation:
If your primary focus is on working in Asia, Rotman Commerce might be the better choice due to its stronger international reputation and brand recognition in the region. However, you should also plan to leverage your bilingual skills and consider pursuing a master's degree in a globally prestigious program to maximize your chances of breaking into investment banking in Asia.

UofT
Sorry but unlikely to land BB IB in SG/HK from canadian colleges, only UST15+Oxbridge (or UST30 + LSE/maybe but less likely IC & UCL for local residence). You still need top target master US/UK/EU to land BB IB in SG/HK. But with UofT & Ivey degree, it's pretty chill to get into top target master in US/UK/EU.
Agreed, but I was under the impression that these were his only 2 options.
Thank you! I heard that UofT has a better reputation in applying master degrees, since Ivey is a more career-oriented program.
But you wouldn't need masters degrees with a better job outcome. Masters programs like MFin or MFE at Rotman are basically for people who struck out of regular undergrad recruiting and instead of graduating unemployed, use the masters as a second shot at analyst recruiting. If you're talking MBA, then your job experience matters more so again, you'd rather go for a program with better career outcomes. That said culturally you might fit in more at UofT. Rotman alum btw so not just a random hater.
That helps a lot. Can I dm you to ask a few questions about Rotman？
ngl there's probably no question you have that hasn't already been answered online. reply in comments and I can answer tho.
