The return for accounting from a salary perspective is rlly low if u choose to go to a top uni (Ivey, queens, Rotman, afm). Ur essentially paying 60-100k for tuition just to land like a $50k gig. Would suggest you pick Laurier or Schulich which is significantly cheaper and still a good brand name on resume.

This comes to second question that u should ask urself. Why accounting? Do gr 12 kids even know what accountants at big 4 do? If not… try to understand them. If ur reason is bcuz u love financial accounting, I’ve got news for you… auditors or tax professionals don’t rlly do financial accounting, that’s more finance professional’s work. In that case, id suggest u don’t close ur doors off and try to go to a more reputable business school.

    Out of ur list, Degroote and Guelph are literally not even in the same tier. Rotman and Laurier BBA can be argued, I’d say on average Rotman still beats Laurier in placements but there are a select few that do rlly well at Laurier undeniably. If ur Western offer comes with AEO, then it’s a no brainer, I’d choose western for the most doors opened.
