Hello,
Let me add my two cents here and see if I can help you guys.
I am an international student from India and have secured admit to may 2009 intake at Ivey. But unfortunately, due to lack of finances I had to defer my admit by one year...
I had applied to Queen's and was thinking of applying to Sauder as well. But there were a few points that I came across, which made me shift my alliance to Ivey
1.
The Case Study method:: This is the unique point in Ivey's case. Ivey is only next to Harvard in terms of the number of case studies they make and they are number 1 in terms of numbers of case studies produced with Asian focus.
2.
The strong alumni: Ivey arguable has the strongest alumni base amongst all Canadian schools. 1 out of every 3 people who have graduated from Ivey hold the rank of a CEO, CIO, CTO, President or Senior VP ranks
3.
Brand recognition: Amongst all other Canadian schools, Ivey has the strongest brand recognition. This may be untrue but this was something which I chanced upon as per my research. Those of you who are in Canada would know better but yes, I do know that once u say u are from Ivey, people know you are inteligent and you have what it takes to succeed in the corporate world.
4.
Great for consulting: for those of you who intend to get into the field of consulting or strategy, there probably is no better choice than Ivey (apart from Harvard, Wharton and Stanford).
5. Ivey is also called as the "Harvard of the North" :twisted:
I hope I have been able to satisfy some nerves here. in case anyone has any questions, please shoot. I'll try answering them as best as possible.
Regards
Every morning I go through Forbes list of 100 richest men on this planet. If my name is not in there, I go to work..!
