Hi Albert,
So you get offers from these two schools, congratulation!!!
I am also curious about the reputions of these two in Asia region. Anybady know?

Baobaobear, how's  going?
Thank you.

So far, I only got York's offer. I ask this question because queen require me to take a second interview in person on 11. But I am in China now. And I have to deposit money to confirm York's offer. Therefore, I am considering if I need to go back to Toronto immediately to take queen's second interview.

GOod luck

Albert,

I would prefer Queen's. According to my conversation with some Alumni from both schools, it seems that Queen's Alumni appreciate their school better than those from York.  Just for your reference. Llike others said, it all depends on what you want to be.

Thank you, c800.

I agree that Queen's reputation is a bit better than York. However, the disadvantage of Queen, for me, is that Queen's alumni network is not so big and all alumni have similar background -- science and technology --. Therefore, I am wondering that if all alumni finally become project manager or go to high technology company. For the long run, it seem not to be a good choice for those who want to start his/her own company or want to work in other field.

Another problem I am considering is the short study time in Queen's MBA program. I don't know if students in Queen's program can absort the essence of MBA and dramatically improve his/her English, managment and analytical skills in 12 month. For me, 2 year may be better.

Good luck, c800

Albert,
I agree with you, I didn't even think about Queens.

two-year programs are actually about 16 month long; The possiblity of improving your english depends on the learning environment.

To albert:
When I tried to choose a business school, I  not only cared about its reputaion,ranking and location, but also investigated its focus and learning style. I wanted to make sure I would get what I want in an effective way. I have a science background and have been working in hi-tech industry for years, and I hope to continue to work in this area so I chose Queen's. Additionally, I thought the supportive learning team would be very helpful in improving my language skills and learning about other culture.
While York, Ivey, Rotman, and Queen's are all top business schools in Canada, they are so different that you might make a wrong decision if you don't really know about these schools.  You will know which one is best for you only if you visit those schools and talk to students. I wouldn't comment on these schools because I don't want to offend anyone here.

Hi wyxgeorge,

Thanks for your comment. I agree your opinion. We should choose a business school that suits our interest and career goal best. In your post, you mention a "supportive learning team". Could you explain how the Queen's learning leams support their members? I mean, what is the huge differece between Queen's team and other programs' team regarding to the "Supportive" issues.

Thanks a lot.

Sorry, every one,


I didn't mean to offend anyone regarding my opinion on February 7th. But I do realize now that it seems quite offensive. Pls discard it.
