I want to go to ivey, mostly because I want to do business not computer programming which you is alot of work and very tough to graduate after you get in. Western is better because it is less competitive when you get in. Waterloo academic workload is crazy when you get it, most ppl dont even graduate.

I prefer some type of engineering over BMOS, because it is so hard to find a job with a pure business background.

Although, I'm pretty stoked getting a Schulich offer. I'm also not at 91% so I'm hoping there's no such cut off for first round Ivey AEO. Applied to:
- Western BMOS [Accepted] +(AEO) [Accepted]
- Queen's Commerce
- Schulich iBBA [Accepted]
- Rotman Commerce

Aren't there like 500 kids each year in HBA?
That would mean Ivey sends out tonnes of offers.

Called Schulich yesterday, they said they havent read all the aplicants, but they have already given offers. I handed mines in on the morning of the due date so I guess I am pretty back in line.....

Who else is applying?
So few things we could start with...
- Ivey vs. Other Business Programs (Queens, Schulich, Laurier, etc).
- Ranking - Best business school in Canada? Place in top 3?
- Options, opportunities and job prospects.
- Questions regarding marks, EC's and application forms.
- Scholarships, fees and residence.
- 2 + 2 system.
It's that time of the year... discuss! -Check out this article that compares Ivey to Queen's.
-Check out this article for best business schools in Canada
-If you're interested in how to get into ivey, check this out.-If you're interested in how to get into queens, check this out.hope these help.
