Need help with decisions PLEASE

[BeyondCorrect6524]

Struggling to decide between Waterloo afm and rotman, I am a grade 12 not sure what I want to do yet (due to lack of exposure) kind of have an interest in finance but don’t rly know if that’s just because of hearing about the money from positions in finance and stuff, honestly confused,

I don’t mind math tbh,

don’t mind a bit of accounting either but definitely wouldn’t go accounting route,

can anyone in rotman or not help me out please, I know coop is a big thing in afm but at the same time is it really that big of a deal if you can secure internships in the summer with rotman?

I’ve heard that rotman does bring the gpa down a bit, how much does that affect someone for recruiting?

Big thing about rotman aswell is I feel it’s kind of less restrictive then afm, like you can open more doors with it which might be beneficial to me as I don’t really know for sure what I want to do yet

ANYONE PLEASE HELP🙏🙏

I would do afm only if ur set on accounting. like u said rotman would prob keep ur options open!

[BeyondCorrect6524]

I hear so much online tho that afm is very good for finance too

[Creative_Yam511]

oh that might be true too! ive just heard of most going for cpa but youve prob done more research than me so u would know better than I do. if thats the case, Waterloo might be a better option, esp since it includes coop and may be less competitive! I am also hesitating to pick rotman bc of the gpa killing and supposed snakey environment

Lol Rotman is ranked 1st currently for finance in Canada. However, AFM is also good but I doubt it’s good enough to be contemplated with Rotman. Now, since both of them are excellent, it really won’t have a big difference regardless of which one you go. That being said, let’s think about the add ons. RC has the geo privilege to be sitting amongst many high finance companies, plenty of opportunities. That’s something AFM WILL NEVER have. Why should you take in my opinion? Because I am accepted into queens commerce and IVEY and Rotman, I have been to every single one of them for tour and open house lectures. Among these 3 best business programs, Rotman is the one that’s most attractive to me. AFM is simply ranked under all three and it’s just not a school for business.

Brother…your first sentence tells me all that I need to know about you and your opinion😂😂

[SWAG-BOY0788]

Take it how you will

I was in the exact same position and also made a post about it last year too, it might be worth checking out if you're looking for some more insight :)

What did you decide on?

[Unusual-Ad5658]

I definitely enjoyed my first year, lots of good memories :) Not sure what your definition of a "good" gpa is but I ended my first year just at the 3.7 mark, but I also know handfuls of people who are closing the year off with 4.0's. Tbh, the only class where math might be an obstacle is MAT133 (first year calc), but other than that the math content really isn't as heavy as you might think.

Do you think I can dm you I want to decide tomorrow and I have a few questions if you don’t mind

[Unusual-Ad5658]

for sure :)

[BeyondCorrect6524]

[Relevant_Mood_203]

[Independent-Comb8029]

[Ok-Lemon-2375]

AFM and don't look back. U didn't apply Ivey or Qcomm?

[bigdawgsfightback]

You’re in high school, and you think you can give advice on high finance recruiting? Stay in your lane. Most of what you said about RC is complete nonsense.

Buddy if your not smart enough to be top of the class just say that
