Okay so ive been admitted to all the programs listed above:
utm commerce/
degroote business/
uottawa commerce (guaranteed coop)/
ryerson business management

so i still have not decided which one i should go to because quite frankly, im confused over which uni will provide me with the best benefits.

UTM being a uoft branch is obv well reputable, but i here that there are barely any sources of recruitment there. And also its close to home so the commute is easy

Degroote has an internship program that i can apply to in year 3 as long as i have a 7.0 cumulative average, but then again its not well known.

Ryerson is not well known but its in downtown financial district so many recruiters drop by there and its also easier to get marks there as compared to other unis.

And as for uottawa, they're offering me a scholarship, guaranteed coop and their coop placement rate is 98% according to their website. Thye have alot of KPMG recruiters.

IM CONFUSED.

any suggestions?:)

I'm going to assume that you have the right statistics and information, so if this is true then I would surely take this because this basically GUARANTEES that you will have a placement, not to mention the UOttawa is a fairly good school (so I hear).

This one, I would say, is your best option because UTM is part of UofT (as you mentioned), so you are already going into a university with a good reputation, so all that matters now is achieving the marks. There shouldn't be a worry about not going to a good school. Don't worry about placement, you don't have a co-op to worry about or anything so set that con aside :)

Congrats on all the acceptances and good luck wherever you chose to go :)

Thanks for your reply:) I'm still iffy though on how UTM doesn't have co-op, so students have to do some major social networking and research on their own:/
