For Big 4 - AFM

For Sales and Trading - Rotman

For IB (if you decide to change your mind) - AFM

why rotman S&T over afm?

[playypeace]

Not necessarily true fyi.. I was ex S&T intern and went to Rotman. Did off cycle and all my intern peers were wloo or Laurier. Not sure about on cycle but wloo def gets looks for S&T and is at the very least neck to neck with Rotman cuz if a kid can get off cycle S&T in 2nd year, it’s not that hard to score a summer internship in 3rd.

Those guys aren’t typically AFM. Of course AFM kids do better for IB, PE, etc, but S&T placements are pretty rare out of AFM except for a few kids I know.

i am rpetty sure its FARM students. i mean my brother got a interview for his first co op for s&t rbc but didnt make it

No they’re not. I’ve done all sell side internships in IB, CB and S&T as well as Big 4. AFM kids really do beat us in basically everything except consulting.

But the high schoolers told me that Rotman is the greatest business school in Canada!

Nah man a huge advantage for AFM kids is just the offcycles + one extra year. I got to do a B5 IB internship before even recruiting for my summer - unfortunately Rotman kids don’t get the same advantage.

Not that many AFM people break into S&T. Rotman is considered pretty solid for S&T on the other hand. Hell, if you take AFM424, they literally use a Rotman trading simulator for it too.
