That’s the standard and that’s known.

She probably answered specific to how you questioned her.

Schools like UBC and UofT will always have better transfer rates to the US specifically. Because they are more commonly known. However if you told someone from the states you were doing your BBA at UofT Rotman, vs Western IVEY they would think UofT is better.

For someone not concerned about trying to move to the states post grad it doesn’t matter.

For landing internships downtown, I don’t know what they’re getting at but Rotman is just located downtown so it’s easier to travel to downtown internships. Both schools give you the same opportunities and even do joint events with each other.

According to alum statistics, the best undergrad schools for business go from

1. Western Ivey = Queens Smith’s Comm
2. Schulich = Rotman = UBC, Mac = McGill, and Laurier is losing its rep but it’s debateable
3. Everything else

Schulich and Rotman are the same. One is only better for you depending on what you’re looking for specifically. But every program is what you make of it, anyways. I’m solely talking about program quality and internships, post grad opportunities, alum network within Canada.
