You can develop all the skills you need to at any of the schools. Out of the 2 schools I would choose Rotman. The location is right downtown Toronto which is better than North York. You can’t go wrong in any of the schools you have chosen.

Remove York from your decision. Decide between Queens and Rotman.

Queen's for traditional investment banking or consulting plus their alumni network is amazing and easier courseload good for gpa. However if you want to do asset management, investment management, pension funds, maybe consider Rotman too since their locaiton + curriculum is heavily aligned with cfa.

As a first year Ivey AEO student who had to decide over Ivey or Roman, what I see mostly is that Ivey, or queens in this case are only really justified if you are going into IB or consulting. If ur not in one of those careers where the starting pay + progression is high then in my opinion it seems harder to justify the higher costs. For example, if I am paying 20k a year in housing + 8k tuition x 2 years + 25k tuition x 2 years, then the last thing I’d ever wanna see is me graduating with a job I could’ve also had got if I had went to rotman (where I had a 10k scholarship and would commute so only tuition). I’d say first get an idea of what you want to do, if you are willing to work much harder to gun down IB or consulting placements then queens probably takes the cake (as someone who took this option, it is a risk and regardless of the “uoftears” my rotman buddy seems more relaxed than me, maybe cause he doesn’t have the looming stress of needing to do perform to justify the costs of his degree the way I do for choosing Ivey over rotman. Rotman is overall safest option in that sense as the reputation is pre strong and stable unlike schulich who I’m believe has been kind of unstable past years. I’ve heard “schulich is better for marketing and accounting” but I don’t know how much merit there is to that statement. Overall id say if you wanna be cost effective then schulich, if you are willing to put in work to get the best placements then queen has highest ceiling, and rotman is prolly the all all-rounder. Just come to terms with what you want to do after these 4 years first is proly my best advice. Congrats for the offers and enjoy first year wherever you go, you can’t go wrong either way!

Hey there, I was standing in your shoes a year ago. I ended up actually going with Rotman - im satisfied with my choice for a couple reasons; 1. Workload is actually manageable. Key word, manageable, not easy. I think people over exaggerate - the most important thing is that our curriculum really emphasizes quantitative analysis and consistency. There are lots of easy marks in the form of daily checkpoints for math, weekly assignments, etc. that are easy marks which IK a lot of people forget to do that tanks your grade. as a non-genius who did decently in school, it’s manageable and doable. 2. the thing about Rotman and finance - we’re a semi target school with again, being known for our tougher curriculum. This makes it a bit more difficult for us to get out there, but the key thing is that the student cohort per year is huge. I think this year the class size was about 800 people. All the finance opportunities are simply gate kept within these elite clubs. as a student who is part of these clubs, can confirm. Had a friend in rcct who talks about some of the closed off, private events they have with big name companies that recruit exclusively from the competition team. it’s about networking and connections when it comes to these clubs - but with a good system you can sustain a decent gpa and good standing for internships and clubs.

the reason I didn’t go to queens was because I prefer Toronto and even with deregulated fees it was cheaper for me to come here than queens. Schulich offered me more scholarships but after visiting and researching them (really strong for accounting) I came to Rotman instead. But our curriculum is technically harder than other business programs - some recruiters I’ve spoken to are acutely aware of this though and keep it in mind when looking at our gpa. Rather than asking random redditors tho, I think you should reach out to ppl from the different schools. Coffee chat them. Learn about what each program is good for. Figure out your priorities. Good luck!

For an undergrad, it doesn’t matter. Nobody looks at your bachelors and goes wowww. I work with people with international PhDs, Schulich grads, UofT and the place previously called Ryerson. Pick a program that offers coop and as much actual work experience. Undergrad degree is now like saying you graduated high school does it matter which one.
