Why is Ivey better than Rotman? (Need Advice)

So I know this topic has been beaten to death on this forum, and the majority of the people seem to say that Ivey is better than Rotman when it comes to IB. But when I look at ranking for their undergraduate programs, Rotman is ranked higher. In addition to that, Rotman is literally in Toronto. So my main question is that why is Ivey so much better than Rotman (undergrad)? I know Ivey's HBA program is better, but I heard that you can only get into that program during your junior year of college, and space is limited, so is it worth going to Ivey just for the chance that you'll get into the program?? I'm talking about concrete evidence for why Ivey's better - not something like "I know more people at my firm from Ivey than Rotman" because that could vary depending on your company and location. Thanks

(By the way I'm a high school senior who's applying to colleges this fall so any advice is greatly appreciated)

 

Ivey sends, on average, 30-40 kids to US BBs/EBs every single year. This year is a bit down due to NAFTA renegotiations, but that should give you an idea that it is definitely stronger than most US semi-targets. You can count with a single hand how many kids Rotman sends to US BBs every year. Additionally, it's so much easier to apply for Rotman than to get an Ivey AEO offer. In my year, everyone who had a 90+ high school average and spoke fluent English got a Rotman offer, while I know lots of people with 95+ average who still didn't get an Ivey offer. Don't trust rankings by generic magazines btw; they are all bs.
