Admitted by Ivey and Queen's, a decision to...

mblchan

Got an email notice from Ivey today. Now I got myself a decision to make. Queen's career management is a great aspect, it's the small class, service-oriented, everyone would catch resource's attention.

Ivey has done a great job in Asian area, especially in China. Compare with Queen's class, Ivey's is more challenging.

Appreciate more tips from your guys if I could. Thanks in advance! Should anyone have any questions regarding application of Queen's and Ivey, fell free to let me know.

Good luck to you all!

My personal opinion:

Queen's 12-month program is good to save opportunity cost, but not good for candidates who want to transfer to a new industry. Most Queen's grads go back to the industries where they come from.

Ivey has a prestigous reputation tranditionally, although its ranking is sliding downward. It is outstanding in general management. If you focus on this area, Ivey is the only choice in Canada.

Well, it is really a tough decision.  I was trapped in the same situation some time ago.

I believe that there is no one-fit-all answer.  It all depends on your personal preference.  But one thing for sure, no matter which way you go, you win!!!

Chose Ivey, for sure. don't be influenced by the ranking, that's only kids' game. Ivey can offer you better value in terms of  long-term development. Queens simply is too small to have that power, even Rotman is stronger.

Well, it really depends what kind of career you are looking for.

MBA education is a long term process, which will definitely change the way you are thinking. If you have strong career path which you will continue to pursue, short term program may be your choice, saving a lot of opportunity cost.

If you are not satisfied with your past and looking forward to building a more challenge future, long term program will be my suggestion.
