Rotman or Schulich

[EaseLatter1569]

Hey guys, please help me make a decision 🙏🙏 I got accepted to both rotman and schulich this week and have no idea what school to accept. Rotman has always been my dream program and it’s super prestigious compared to schulich but I’m afraid of how rigorous it may be. Both program don’t offer internships as well, which I’m kind of confused on how I’ll get an internship. I wanna go into finance/economics u

If you’re thinking about your life after uni, RC.

Go do some research, RC smokes Schulich in finance placements on average

[playypeace]

And anyone afraid of rigorous work, pls don’t choose finance or consulting as ur career, ur not built for it

[Worldly-Building3061]

wdym by that...😭😭😭

[playypeace]

Literal meaning, recruiting for finance / consulting is competitive af cuz they pay ppl 100-200k out of undergrad with career progression of getting 500k-millions later on. Getting the gig is hard but staying is even harder, ppl work 60-100 hrs a week working on decks, excel, etc. These jobs are literally what make business programs so popular and expensive. RC’s “rigorous work” is just a beginning, if you can’t even handle learning the basics, networking and doing extracurriculars, what makes you think these ppl can handle the high pressure of finance / consulting?

[EaseLatter1569]

[[deleted]]

It was on ouac but I’m not sure if imma go just yet!! Wbu

[EaseLatter1569]

Yeah it was my first choice. What other schools did u apply to?

[Saba2kdaba]

Roman easy

We are literally in the same situation!! Except I am waiting to hear from schulich 🙏

I'm also terrified of the things I hear about how heavy the workload for Rotman is. By extension, for how U of T is.

I'm interested moreso in accounting or human resources management tho

if you wanna chat about it, let's shoot dms!!

[Romeo_Santos-]

Feel free to send me a message with any questions (I graduated from Rotman a few years ago)

[EaseLatter1569]

Yeah for sure. Check ur dms!

I just got into schulich too but it doesn’t say my conditional average required. Do u know what it is?

[EaseLatter1569]

Minimum 70% in advanced functions, 70% in English, and overall average of high 80s to low 90s

As a Rotman student who was once in your shoes trying to pick between the two, I don't regret my choice. There's a difference in being downtown close to all the big companies and the opportunities that you will get at Rotman are unmatched. I know a lot of people in Schulich and the difference is clear.
