Admits

I am glad to inform you that i have received admits from Queens School of business and Schulich School of Business.
Now its the time to decide one over the other

After doing some research i could figure out the following pros and cons of each college

      Queens ( Pros)
  • 1 year course : So you will just take an year off from industry
  • Good for technology sector
  • Good reputation
     Queens ( Cons)
  •  Lack of internship and being a 1 year course So not enough time to network
    Schulich (Pros)
  • 2 - year course so you get lot of time to network
  • School is putting lot of emphasis on expanding globally
   Schulich (Cons)
  • Reputation is not as great as Queens
  • Placement stats not that lucrative
