请问加拿大的SAUDER/UBC, IVEY/UWO, ROTMAN/UOT各自的特点

I believe if you want to get a better insight into the program, it is worth spending the time and money visiting the schools. You can join their class discussion, talk with them after class, and see the campus yourself. You can feel the different styles in different schools. And this is important when you need to decide which school to join. You may visit one school and decide if you want to visit others.

Dear all, I hope to get more advices of this question.

I plan to submit my application material to all these three universities by around end of Oct, and then proceed my first landing to Canada on around middle of Nov.

1) Which contact/mailing address I should use? China's or Canada's? Nevertheless I don't have fixed address in Canada before I land on Canada.

2) Do I need to tell them, in my application, that I will land on Canada on mid Nov?

Thanks.

1）personally, I bbelieve you should leave an address by which you can be contacted. if you do not have a fixed address by now, any way, you should keep an active email address, and you may update your mail address when you have one.

2) definetely yes. it may add your weights.

I just graduated from Ivey this year, and I can share my personal opinion.

If you plan to get into consulting or pursue career in general management, you should consider Ivey. Although Ivey is becoming strict for Chinese students, the reason is just as Jamesyx said, case method need good analysis and presentation skills, which are also important for consultant or GM.

The faculty in Ivey is very good, or at least, 80% of them are best class. But in recent year, some tenure got retired, as Michael Leeds, (guru of supply chain) and some of them went to other school, as Allen Morrison (strategy management). I hope that Ivey could attract more professors, because case method is not easy to teach. Although, I still believe that case method is the most appropriate way to learn management skills.

Every year, someone get one offer from Ivey or Rotman (not both), and very likely, they feel regretful for not having offer from another. Rotman is good in finance, so if you want find a job on Bay street, go Rotman. And if you like city style, go Rotman.

UBC is the only choice if you want to have enjoyable life in Vancouver. I lived there for two years, and once I moved to London (ontario), I feel bored. Good campus, have some good professor (some of Ivey prof come from UBC and they are very good). And you might feel easy to find a job in BC if you choose UBC.

I hope that my information is helpful, and you can contact me by foresthill2003(A) hotmail.com

Thank you Foresthill!

Your information is very useful for me. I also heard that the studying atmosphere at IVEY is very good. Partly because the small class size, partly because the fixed classroom (so that all the classmate could become much more familiar with each other). Indeed not every business school has fixed classroom for all the student. But I just feel a bit wonder how IVEY can manage the same classroom for hundreds of students.

Case study is one of the major teaching tool for almost all the business class, especial for MBA. Therefore, when you say IVEY's case method (or case study) is strong, do you mean that case study in IVEY is better than that in the other university because of the better profesor group?

I am glad to hear that job hunting in BC is not as bad as I thought.

Normandy,
