追风筝的少年

I know this question has been asked a millions times but sorry for asking it again.

I'm struggling between Richard Ivey of Western Ontario and Rotman of University of Toronto. Planning to go back to China to work after MBA, I really like to get some advice on which school is better known in China.

Your input is highly appreciated!!!

看LZ将来想做什么了，
Finance--> Rotman
Consulting-->Ivey
缺钱-->Ivey
缺时间-->Ivey
转行-->Rotman
回国-->Ivey
......

然后每项加个weight，算出个分数来，比比就好了

I am Ivey Grad. there is no easy answer when choosing your MBA program. similar as there is no "the BEST" of a MBA program. What we need to consider is whether this program FITS YOU.  rospect applicants may try to do some home work to know more detail insight of the program, talk to the alumni directly, talk to the faculty directly, and most importantly visit the school if that is not a financial hardship for you. You will only make a sound decision only after you do due dilegence. Of course visiting chasedream is a good start but you have a a lot more to do.

Personally, I am bring a family to Canada (my son is 4 years old when I start my MBA) so I consider London a good town for both family and academic, no need to squeeze myself in downtown Toronto. That is only one decision criteria dude. Now I am working in bank industry, marketing function. I met a lot other programs grad and they are all showing different talents.

Not trying to dance around the questions, this is a good chance to be adaptive to the future MBA program once you begin doing home work on selection.

我就是rotman2012的 看你的职业方向 如果是金融的话Rotman毋庸置疑
如果你是看校友网络的话 Rotman在亚洲的校友网络我个人认为暂时落后于Ivey,主要是Ivey历史较久,但是Rotman赶超只是迟早的事(正在扩建+扩招) Rotman有校友的database你可以用于network
而且UT在亚洲有巨大的网络和声誉,而且普遍认为Ivey改制为1年是个相当糟糕的主意(失去了暑期实习)

当然rotman，Ivey在London这个小地方，回头找实习还得去多伦多。

ROTMAN的校友牛，就业很好。

Ivey definately holds the internatioal reputation in traning corporate management consultant and strategy planning via his unique case study based teaching methonds. Whereas rotman enjoys strong reputation in deliver the finance knowledge through the traditional academic ways.  

You mentioned that you would like to work in China when you graudate. If this is the case, I would like to vote for Ivey for you.  Ivey has a huge alumini networking advance in China especially in Shanghai. Most of the Ivey Chinese graduates come back to shanghai start their career. Things are different for rotman. Most of its graudates stay in Toronto, they may find a strat job as banking operation or personal financial service with $50k~60k per year.
