My first choice was Schulich (its better then the two in every aspect), so I did not join any of the two, as I was holding on for an answer from Schulich. They did not accept me as I had a three year bachelors degree from India. Present After having a discussion with Schulich Admissions Director(where I was told that I still have a chance, if I get a promotion), I applied to Hult(Boston) and was accepted. Hult : Pros – 1 year, pretty goood international exposure, ranked #1 in international business by FT, USD 16000 scholarship, has some reputation(shows up on some rankings) Cons – wont be able to stay in Canada with my family, am not sure about job prospects in Canada after studying at mid-tier US school Ryerson : Pros – 1 year, low tuition fees(15000 CAD), has a retail specialization which might work for me, get to stay with my family Cons – not really reputed, does not show up on any ranking Schulich: Pros – a good global school with international exposure, is well reputed(at least in Canada), get to stay with my family in Canada Cons : 20 months, am not sure whether I will be accepted Future (Planned) I am not aiming really high like consulting/finance, I am aiming to get into retail(buying/operations) /international trading/brand management My questions: 1)Which one should I go for and why? 2)If you are not aiming high, do you really need to get into good MBA school (having said that, I will obviously want my education at the best place possible) 3)What are the job prospects like in Canada, if you study at a mid tier school in the US? Thanks for going through my loooong post. Any insight will be really helpful in helping me make the most imp decision of my life.
