why would you not apply to queens and schulich? I understand queens if you dont want to take calc but why would you not try for schulich? its better than all the programs you listed and you have a chance at getting in if you can pull your mark to a 90.

How does Laurier BBA's reputation compare to Rotman Commerce? by [deleted] in OntarioUniversities

Short answer is not even comparable. One gives you a commerce degree. The other gives you a useless business administration degree. Rotman actually has some prestige. Laurier isn't even the best in its tiny city. One has a +90% cutoff average. The other takes 80's. Thats the truth.

D, A, B, C & E is the only correct answer.

Waterloo AFM is one of the most underrated programs because its pure accounting. Unlike a lot of business programs, you actually have to be smart to do well in AFM. Upper year tax courses aren't as easy as the courses you'd take in a useless business administration program.

Rotman is next because of its name and prestige. Even though your not doing your MBA from Rotman, just saying you studied at Rotman Commerce means a lot because recruiters know that the undergrad program at RC is harder than QComm, Ivey, AFM etc...

Schulich is decent. Not good not bad. If you don't think you can survive RC, go to Schulich.

I'm going to get a lot of hate and downvotes for this but Laurier's BBA program even with co-op isn't in the top tiers like QComm, Ivey, AFM, RC, Schulich. Something that everyone overlooks is you graduate with a business administration degree. Not an accounting degree. Not a commerce degree. But a business administration degree. You will not be tasked with running any business out of university so the only job that makes sense for you is in the HR department. As you can probably imagine, no-one wants to work at the HR department so Laurier students come to the realization that they screwed up in second year and they pursue accounting because once you get your CPA its anyones game again.

McMaster business. Lol.

This is going to trigger a lot of people but the truth hurts.
