Hi Ciao,

I am preparing for GMAT right now and offcourse first priority is ROTMAN but other options are also under consideration. My plan is to join 2014.

Ok, thanks for the information! Good luck on your Rotman application - I hear it's a great school.

6. Schulich (But not accredited by any of AACSB, EQUIS or AMBA)

Executive MBAs are not full time MBAs.

Generally, I think you can trust the rankings of Canadian schools. If you're looking at full-time programmes, then Queen's and Sauder are probably the better.

Search the discussion board and use the rankings.

Dear Mr. Duncan/others,

Finally I have shortlisted 03 programs as below, appreciate your feedback and insights into pros & cons of these programs;

1. Rotman Part-time MBA
2. Shulich-Kellogg EMBA
3. Ivey EMBA

Dear Mr. Duncan/others,

Finally I have shortlisted 03 programs as below, appreciate your feedback and insights into pros & cons of these programs;

1. Rotman Part-time MBA
2. Shulich-Kellogg EMBA
3. Ivey EMBA

The FT ranks them 1) Schulich/Kellogg, 2)Rotman 3) Ivey

The Ivey program tends to draw a more experienced cohort - 15 years of work experience on average, versus 12 for the other two.

The Schulich/Kellogg program is a bit longer too.

What do you hope to get out of an EMBA program?

Dear Ralph, thanks for the inputs, I Have done B.Comm, ACCA (UK), CPA (US). Currently I am a CFA Level 2 candidate. Also having over 13 years of experience in audit, accounting, financial analysis etc.

If you want to work in finance, why not focus on the programs that are in Toronto?

Frankly though, these programs are all quite good. If you have all three as options, I would talk with the schools to get a sense of your fit.

Thanks a lot, I have short listed these three out of my search, since I am looking for the best possible option for me. Appreciate your guidance and support in selecting the right choice.

Regards

Well, like I said, these are all good programs, and since you've narrowed your search down to three, the next step would be to touch base with the schools themselves and figure out the best fit for you in that way. I'm not sure what kind of insight I could add at this point.

An update here: I just saw this list, in case this helps:

Also, I was reading through the recent employment stats from Ivey, and quite a few of that school's grads actually end up in Toronto, in the financial sector. Might we worth looking into as well.

Nice list. I guess it makes sense that many Ivey grads end up in Toronto, especially those who want to work in finance. But if you want to work in finance, why not just go to Schulich or Rotman?

That's my thought as well. I was surprised that Ivey places so well in financial services and in Toronto.
