Which program has better employability in your opinion. Sauder (UBC) or Smith(Queen's)?

Hey guys! I’m an international student who's torn between if I should go to Sauder or Smith. I'm not 100% sure which field in commerce do I want to pursue yet. Ranking-wise seems like Sauder has a better reputation but a lot of people are telling me that Smith is actually better. Since the tuition of the two is pretty much the same so I want to know about the comparison of their employability and student life in your opinions.

To be honest I like the campus of UBC better, but on Queen’s website it says that “98 % of graduates employed within 6 months of graduation ” and for other schools like York schulich you can also see similar data like “89% of students were hired within 3 months of graduation ” However, for Sauder, I did not see any numbers specifically for its employability so I’m kind of worried about if it will be hard for students to find a job after graduating from Sauder, can you guys please share a little your personal insights on this part as well?

Nope, those three schools (Ivey, Queens, McGill) are the main target schools in Canada.

Other decent programs / schools are a tier below - aka semi-target level.
