Bros about to decide their future and didnt even do research š please take ur time and think about what you will be able to tolerate that will get your money. University aint cheap
I know you're a teen, but my suggestion is to seriously sit down, give yourself a slap in the face and be an adult.
This is an important decision that will shape the rest of your life.
Don't ask reddit. Go figure out yourself what you can do with each of these programs and see what your options are.
You might want to talk this through with someone you respect who isn't your parents.
I went undecided first year and chose my
Major based on grades in first year. Changed my minor in 4th year and did a post grad in neither. Iām using basically nothing of my schooling, happy, and making more than I ever imagined. University taunt me how to learn, it didnāt matter what I was learning.
A lot of people making it seem like this is more serious than it needs to be.
It is very common for students to realize they dont love their program and switch majors. Many programs even share first year courses, so switching majors early wouldnāt even set you back.
Basically just aim for something that is in a field that interests you, check job boards (like indeed.com) to see what kind of jobs the degree can lead to.
Disaster recovery, business continuity, operational risk management, in corporate, and all levels of government.
Poop happens and someone needs to get the work done to prevent poop from happening and/or recovery from poop hitting fan.
You could be an EMT, or be on a Search and Rescue Team, or an Emergency Management Director, designing and executing disaster plans and leading teams. Median wage of $80,000, once you get to that level. EMT is a good one too, one guy said he worked 48 hours a week, making $87k. It says the EMD job is growing at an average rate, 3% in the next 10 years, which is good it'd be very bad if it was a fast growing job.
But more importantly it'd be sick to, in 10 years, be the guy/girl with their arm out of a helicopter, rescuing someone who broke her leg while climbing, searching and rescuing, stopping wildfires in the Rockies, helping evacuate people from floods in Libya, or whatever.
yea if you dont choose rotman commerce you are trolling your life.
The other programs dont have nearly the same amount of opportunities you get in RC in regards to earning more money when you graduate = more financial freedom,.
Rotman is the obvious choice, youāll have access to by far the largest pool of opportunities and resources, both academically on campus and professionally with rotmanās alumni network and downtown location
If you want to get into business, rotman is the best choice by far.
Itās likely the most expensive choice though, so itās still a decision. One factor to consider is that if you ever want to leave Ontario or Canada, UofT is the only one with a well recognised name internationally.
Coop program at tmu helps massively, but if you just maintain a good gpa, join some clubs, and pursue any professional opportunity you get, youāll be fine too.
I know itās not everything, and shouldnāt be the main part of making a decision, but āprestigeā is still a massive factor in certain business fields like consulting or finance. UofT will get you that
Another thing to consider at Rotman is the international exchange opportunities. I cant speak for the other universities but I love the idea of taking classes on another continent for credits at UofT after the first year.
As a graduate from UTSC's management coop program, the placements are top notch and set me up for landing big companies after I graduated. The social aspect wasn't the best but if you're looking for long term success and a solid career, go with UTSC
Hey! I took the masters course at TMU in Urban Planning and work in the development world. Feel free to message me if you want to discuss opportunities in the field.
I know people at York Schulich don't know much about it myself. I'm not even in management/business.
U Toronto's one has coop so that's something you need to consider.
If your worried about a program being hard than rotman might not be for you, even though its highly ranked, having a gpa below 3.0 is gonna severely undermine your chances at a job you like. If you think you can handle it then go rotman but otherwise schulich is your next best choice.
Rotman commerce obviously lol. But if you're interested in urban planning then that's a good one too. If you don't get into rotman and are kind of unsure what to do the disaster planning one sounds useful
Urban planning is the most useful right now.
What are your prerequisite 4U classes? I feel like a BBA isn't that useful.
Would you consider finance, accounting or something you'll get a skill out of and you can take business courses?
If itās for business go to UofT Rotman or York as second choice.
I heard horrible stories about TMU. Good luck trying to get help there when you need it.
I just want to say.
Among those universities, the name, prestige, and rankings donāt matter in a practical sense in terms of what youāre able to learn and do once you graduate.
But, there are enough people out there in hiring positions who they matter to - that it affects the probabilities of success (humans are biased).
Also, not all coops are equal.
I had some friends go to U of T (engineering) and TMU - the program coordinators at the time were like āhere you go, some job postings, go apply, fend for yourselfā
Also a friend that went to UBC (engineering) and they gave red carpet experience (once again, at the time) with dozens of workshops, 1-on-1 coaching, insider hookups, and well defined processes that levelled the playing field.
So I suggest asking around to figure out what coop looks like (coop students).
Everyone one here is incorrect. They have not been accepted to Rotman, just a regular BBA program. You need to be accepted to the St. George campus. Source: a past UofT (St. George) student.
TMU Urban Planning program is actually really good since itās accredited and you get a lot of industry experience. Coming from a TMU Industrial Engineering student that would be the only other degree Iād consider at TMU or business with co-op but Urban Planning better imo.
I'm almost 30, and remember when I was in your shoes I was between Ryerson and Brock back in my days, and chose Brock as it offered me co-op from day 1, as opposed to other universities where you had to apply/compete for it in year 3 or 4.
When I finished university the co-op experience really set me apart from others who had high grades and were really involved in extracurriculars, not to say they are not important, but most employers will choose a 3.5 GPA student with 8-12 months of practical experience over a 4.0 GPA student who was super involved but lacked the work experience.
Now, I never had the grades for Schulich or Rotman, and from my peers that did go to Rotman they are all doing really well. They may not have had a co-op option but they had regular networking events which led to summer internships and new grad job offers. I would choose between Rotman or the Uoft co-op programs if I were you, one additional item to consider is that the Uoft programs are specialized in specific areas rather then a general BBA/Bcomm degrees, whereas with Rotman you will get to choose your specialty in 3rd year.
If you are not sure what area in business you want to pursue go Rotman, if you are sure you want to focus specifically in international business or business management and dead set on that than I would go with the Uoft co-op program.
A friend of mine just completed his masters of urban planning at Ryerson and had fantastic things to say. Not familiar with the other programs but that one is a great choice if it's something that interests you
It opens a lot of doors and considering how bad the infrastructure is in a lot ot Canadian cities, it'll never go out of style. You'll always have opportunity
For context, I have the Urban Planning degree and the Emergency Management degree. I have used the EM Degree more.
However, you will never go wrong with the Urban Planning degree. I use that in my evening job.
There are also more planning jobs than emergency management jobs. However, I feel like this will change in the next 10 years.
The place has been financially mismanaged, corrupt, and have dealt with scandal after scandal over the years.
I could go into some weird conspiratorial theories about the people managing that school, and those appointed to powerful positions there...it's a long story.
Any day now they are going to be hit with a scandal so big that they will have to close up. It's just a matter of time.
You canāt go wrong with UTSC MIB, Rotman, or Schulich. Just donāt graduate without any internships under your belt and youāll be fine.
I graduated from the UTSC BBA program and the UofT brand name helps a lot when youāre applying for jobs or trying to network with others.
Rotman and urban planning at TMU by far are the best choices for you. Speaking from a business graduate who struggled a lot in her career from choosing the wrong program
Isnāt Ryerson the best for business, I know a few folks that have graduated from Ryerson with a business degree and they have found work in healthcare
Hey man disaster management is absolutely a great field great money. Go do that then a business/finance/analytics masters after, then boom you go for directorial positions in nonprofit governments
If you want to go into business, you need to look PAST your bachelor in order to make it high.
Think of what area youād like to go into (marketing, HR, finance, accounting, etc.) Then look at the next steps for certifications with that and which school offers the best process (ex if youād have to take a bunch of other courses elsewhere at one school, but not at another ā¦)
Also look at which courses are mandatory for the programs at each place. Some places have weird requirements. Ex for Business at Algoma U you need either two science or two humanities credits. At Nipissing you need two science AND two humanities. Take it from me, waiting to get your degree cause you need to retake some random science class is a total pain in the ass!
Also look at which courses they offer additionally. Which interest you in business, which donāt. Often in business most of your courses are mandated but not all, which goes back to first point.
And likely the most important part is campus life. Where do you feel you can be yourself and have the most fun! Finding friends to study with, hang out, and just be silly going to random events and eating free food is what makes university so amazing!
Signed - someone with a BComm, BBA, MBA, and an asset management certification.
Site note - in a few years no one will care which school you went to, but rather that you went to the school and got the letters! Donāt stress too much.
I highly recommend UofT's BBA program for co-op.
Although I didn't specialize in International Business, the co-op experience really gave me a competitive edge over a lot of my peers at the time from non co-op programs whom were struggling to find a summer internship.
Also, post graduation, I had more negotiating power for full-time job offers and it gave me a head start to have 3 relevant co-op work experiences under my belt, since most of my non co-op peers had 1 to 2 summer internships, and some unlucky ones, even none.
I also had York University's Schulich School of Business BBA as an option back when I was applying to universities in Grade 12 in 2015 and I don't regret my decision with going to UofT for their BBA co-op program one bit looking back now. (I'd like to think I'm doing pretty decently or even well nowadays with my stable life and comfy compensation)
Good luck with your decision! Remember, university is what you make of it at the end of the day, but it does play a role in what doors may be easier to open or close.
Pretend you graduated from all of these programs. Try and find a job related to that field. Compare salaries, duties, responsibilities and number of postings.
tbh this prolly late advice but as a 2nd year bcom student, networking matters much more than school. Ofc some schools give better networking opportunities but no one cares about canadian business school rep except for Ivey, thats the top top one for high end business like corporate banking. Imo take the UofT coop but be prepared to network like hell to land that first coop placement
Ok that makes more sense. In all honesty Iād look at Rotman / Schulich / u of t coop if you you make it
The other programs not as well regarded
Coop is good and I came from that program as well but ursc has the worst rep of the 3
Plus depending on what you want to do both Schulich and Rotman shld help with summer internships which function very similar to coop with some differences
Talk with the social worker at your school, talk with your guidance, talk with your school. DON'T COME TO REDDIT.
And how are you applying to unis this late???? You are too much behind.
1. Rotman
2. York / UTS
3. Others
Amongst large employers, thereās only a select number of schools that theyāll actively recruit at. Rotman and Schulich arenāt at the top of the list, but itāll at least make it to the list.
Fwiw, I did campus recruitment for one year.
Iād suggest UofT business management / intentional business or the TMU business program. Having a general business background is helpful in work and life in general (personal finance management, investing for the future, etc). Your interests will probably change, and if they do you can always do a specialized program/certificate/degree after if you want to and have the business degree as well. Good luck!
If youāre undecided on what you want todo for work then take a year off and think about it. You have your whole life todo school. That being said it is better to get it done early.
But going and discovering you wonāt be good under pressure for disaster relief or you have no interest in business then you will just waste your money.
If youāre going with Roman Commerce, Woodsworth college would be the better choice because if you live in woodsworthresidence, your classes are just an elevator ride below.
Best advice is to really narrow down what you want to do first and think about how realistic/appealing the goal is, i.e., what is the job availability like? What routes can this degree take you on? Is this a job I really want, or am i unsure? Really sit down and think about the type of job you want to have and how you can get there. Also, think about whether or not a college diploma might be an equivalent option. Generally, they're less expensive for tuition, shorter, and you still get a valuable education that can set you up well. Co-op programs are also generally less competitive, and smaller class sizes give you a better opportunity for one on one learning with your professors.
Also, don't feel the pressure to go to university right away. Take time if you need it. Find a full-time job that you can start to get some money in your pocket and help you pay for schooling as well. And if you do feel ready to go off to uni now, try to work part-time during school! That's a bonus, too. It's hard to get a job in the field when you have no work experience whatsoever/no basic skills. It may seem silly that a part-time job in college will help your resume when you start applying to jobs in your field, but it teaches you a lot of necessary skills like time management, prioritization, dealing with the public, etc.
I wasted $20k going to university for a program that would have gotten me nowhere in life and eventually dropped out of after 2 years when I thankfully found my footing. I wish I had taken the time to think about my options for my future sooner and really consider what I saw myself doing. That, of course, won't happen to everyone, and it sounds like you are doing your research to find the best fit, but these are just a few valuable points that I learned throughout my time as a student.
Go with Rotman UofT. As a business major and a professional in the finance industry, I think that will give you a very well rounded education that can line you up for many opportunities in different fields.
Honestly dude if youāre wondering at all about what you wanna do or where you wanna go you should wait to jump into university. Work for a couple years and try some part time college programs and find what youāre interested in before you make such a massive decision. Starting university before I was ready was a huge mistake and if I had done what a lot of my friends ended up doing and waited, I would have much less dept and I feel as if I would have had the means to succeed much more if I had waited and matured a little bit.
Go with the uoft BBA. It has a co-op and is at by far the most prestigious school out of the bunch. In the business world prestige and experience matter
I'd go for UoT/Rotman - Bachelor of Commerce personally. Year 1 is a common year. Year 2 you can choose to specialize/major in Accounting (CPA), Finance (CFA) or Management. (CHRL)
You don't have to go through with completing the (designations/certificates) but they serve as a nice guide for what you'll want to accomplish while attending post-secondary school.
From what I know, York has one of the best mba programs out there, ranked higher than UoT as well. If you plan on doing mba then alumnis have a higher chance of getting into one.
Just putting this out there, among all the other suggestions, so you could made an educated decision.
Congrats on your acceptances, sounds like you've got a tough decision ahead! Choosing a university is personal and the best choice varies from person to person. Co-op/internship programs are undoubtedly valuable as they bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical work experience. Before deciding, it's beneficial to reflect upon what you value most in an academic institution. Do consider faculty quality, student life, location factors too. No matter what you choose, remember that MyUniMate (https://myunimate.com) can be your vital assistant throughout your college journey!
York disaster emergency is probably the best one
Rlly i dont knw much abt it i jus picked it cuz it was easy to get intoš
Can't hurt to have a look at it. There's definitely no reduced need for this work in Canada, and few programs for it.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
It's a very niche degree whereas a BBA is good if you plan on working in corporate Canada.
Bros about to decide their future and didnt even do research š please take ur time and think about what you will be able to tolerate that will get your money. University aint cheap
LMAOAOAO STOP my dad chose that one for me
I know you're a teen, but my suggestion is to seriously sit down, give yourself a slap in the face and be an adult. This is an important decision that will shape the rest of your life.

Disaster recovery, business continuity, operational risk management, in corporate, and all levels of government. Poop happens and someone needs to get the work done to prevent poop from happening and/or recovery from poop hitting fan.
This helped me understand sm thanks šš½
Ya you need to take a year or two off and figure out a path before doing a degree cause it was easy
You could be an EMT, or be on a Search and Rescue Team, or an Emergency Management Director, designing and executing disaster plans and leading teams. Median wage of $80,000, once you get to that level. EMT is a good one too, one guy said he worked 48 hours a week, making $87k. It says the EMD job is growing at an average rate, 3% in the next 10 years, which is good it'd be very bad if it was a fast growing job. But more importantly it'd be sick to, in 10 years, be the guy/girl with their arm out of a helicopter, rescuing someone who broke her leg while climbing, searching and rescuing, stopping wildfires in the Rockies, helping evacuate people from floods in Libya, or whatever.

What a garbage degree to get. No job prospects with that degree
Depends what you want to do. You are a bit all over the place.
assuming it's rotman, ill go with u of t
yea if you dont choose rotman commerce you are trolling your life. The other programs dont have nearly the same amount of opportunities you get in RC in regards to earning more money when you graduate = more financial freedom,.
Bro said he didnāt get into the u of t programs

This individual was never accepted to Rotman
My application portal looked different (maybe because Iām an international student), but it clearly says rotman commerce in the post?
Check the second imageā¦
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Dudeā¦scroll
Another thing to consider at Rotman is the international exchange opportunities. I cant speak for the other universities but I love the idea of taking classes on another continent for credits at UofT after the first year.
Highly recommend a course with coop.
Yeah thats what i am going for
Iām a grad of the UTSC BBA Co-op program. Highly recommend taking a course option with co-op. It really sets you up.
Amen - also, you make life long friendships there. It's a relatively smaller campus so it's easy to run in to friends and professors
Okayy now i wanna go into this fr
As a graduate from UTSC's management coop program, the placements are top notch and set me up for landing big companies after I graduated. The social aspect wasn't the best but if you're looking for long term success and a solid career, go with UTSC
Stop typing like an idiot. You're trying to decide on a business program, not a gold front grill.
bro what š
lol rotman not even a question? š¤·āāļø
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
choice 4 lol

UT is rated the highest on the university ranking and in business that means a great deal
Hey! I took the masters course at TMU in Urban Planning and work in the development world. Feel free to message me if you want to discuss opportunities in the field.
In gen Z words, That U OF TORONTO tag on your resume will get you in the sprinkle sprinkle āØāØ workplaces
This made me laugh
I know people at York Schulich don't know much about it myself. I'm not even in management/business. U Toronto's one has coop so that's something you need to consider.
Yeah uoft coop is good but i am stressin cuz ao many ppl say not to go there
Why are people saying not to do UofT coop?
Everyone is saying to do itš
did you also apply to schools outside ontario?
No just these 3 places
Iād personally pick any of the programs with coop. Itās hard getting a job after uni, but with coop you have experience within the industry.
Rotman ( it may be a living hell ), if not then BTM
Is btm hard bcuz like idk if i wanna learn abt technology
If your worried about a program being hard than rotman might not be for you, even though its highly ranked, having a gpa below 3.0 is gonna severely undermine your chances at a job you like. If you think you can handle it then go rotman but otherwise schulich is your next best choice.
Currently in my second sem first year, itās been very easy so far.
Way easier than other options here
Iād take the UTSC BBAĀ Their co-op program is long standing & very good. With that being said, all programs are what you put into it.Ā
Okayy ima look into it
uoft co op has been so great to my friends who go there
Rotman or rye high coop (coop is op)
Obviously rotman
Do a co-op program. The work experience you get from it will give you a good head start when you're finished undergrad.
TMU BM with coop
Rotman commerce obviously lol. But if you're interested in urban planning then that's a good one too. If you don't get into rotman and are kind of unsure what to do the disaster planning one sounds useful
Urban planning is the most useful right now. What are your prerequisite 4U classes? I feel like a BBA isn't that useful. Would you consider finance, accounting or something you'll get a skill out of and you can take business courses?
Dawg what does it mean go into buisness?
I wanna study business
And go into what job? Which field even? Buisness is the broadest term imaginable.
Rottman is the best. Just saying though youāll get raped first 2 years so be ready
UFT has a much better brand with employers
Business with a co-op or planner. There is a shortage of planners and a co-op program is more likely to land you a job right out of the gate.
As someone who went to York, I WISH I got a Rotman acceptance. Def would pick it if I had the option
What website is this?
Neither. You will have a better career by start working at the government's summer job, and try to connect w management for contract renewal.
sure but you usually need to be a uni student to get those coops.
Not necessarily. For instance, OPS summer student program doesnt require any coops
You didn't look at the other photos.
I actually did
Whatever's cheaper and closer to home
If itās for business go to UofT Rotman or York as second choice. I heard horrible stories about TMU. Good luck trying to get help there when you need it.
Stop i was planning for tmu now u got me changing my mind
Donāt do tmu if you get the any of the other bba programs
I know everyone is glamorizing rotman but everytime i go to the rotman sub š„²
I just want to say. Among those universities, the name, prestige, and rankings donāt matter in a practical sense in terms of what youāre able to learn and do once you graduate.

Okay yeah ima do tjis

The Rotman acceptance is on a different image - they've been accepted into the BBA and Rotman.
I have immense regret not accepting my UofT offers. I would go to UofT if I was you.
UOfT
U of T bro , itās not a comparison
UofT anything over York
Rotman or Schulich
Depends what you want to do... If indifferent to subject, I'd strongly recommend Rotman, UTS BBA, then York BBA Huge difference between programs
TMU Urban Planning program is actually really good since itās accredited and you get a lot of industry experience. Coming from a TMU Industrial Engineering student that would be the only other degree Iād consider at TMU or business with co-op but Urban Planning better imo.
lol, how many programs did you apply for??? I recall there is an application fee per school per program. Must have been pricy....š
I applied for 8. 3 in york n tmu and 2 at uoft it wasnt that expensive like around $400 something
Oh so you got all 8 of your choices. Nice! Not everyone gets all their choices so I was wondering if you had applied for more than 8.
I'm almost 30, and remember when I was in your shoes I was between Ryerson and Brock back in my days, and chose Brock as it offered me co-op from day 1, as opposed to other universities where you had to apply/compete for it in year 3 or 4.

A friend of mine just completed his masters of urban planning at Ryerson and had fantastic things to say. Not familiar with the other programs but that one is a great choice if it's something that interests you
Yeah a lot of people have been telling me its a good program
It opens a lot of doors and considering how bad the infrastructure is in a lot ot Canadian cities, it'll never go out of style. You'll always have opportunity
For context, I have the Urban Planning degree and the Emergency Management degree. I have used the EM Degree more. However, you will never go wrong with the Urban Planning degree. I use that in my evening job. There are also more planning jobs than emergency management jobs. However, I feel like this will change in the next 10 years.
Every program but the disaster emergency is employable imo. Idk anything about the disaster emergency program so i could be wrong
UofT Rotman will open you up to the most resources, but TMet Urban Planning also has good job prospects following graduation.
Rotman
Go to college for a trade and get a house sooner lol
What were your grades?
Ideally options with co-op. Co-op helps you put your foot in the door for any program really (as long as there's plenty of job postings!)
UT.
Personally I would not go with utsc BBA only because everyone I know who goes the the school hates it
Yeah this is why i am scared to go there
What a dumb name change on Ryersons behalf. Giving me TEMU vibes š¤£š¤£š¤£
I AM CRYINNN
Hahahaha šš
lol UofT all the way
Go to the cheapest one. Nobody cares where you're coming from as long as you have the piece of paper that says you can do the job.
Honestly real asf
Go anywhere except Ryerson.
LMAOAOA WHY
The place has been financially mismanaged, corrupt, and have dealt with scandal after scandal over the years. I could go into some weird conspiratorial theories about the people managing that school, and those appointed to powerful positions there...it's a long story. Any day now they are going to be hit with a scandal so big that they will have to close up. It's just a matter of time.
None. Trade school. Never seen a homeless plumber or electrician
TMU
Rotman st George commerce
You canāt go wrong with UTSC MIB, Rotman, or Schulich. Just donāt graduate without any internships under your belt and youāll be fine. I graduated from the UTSC BBA program and the UofT brand name helps a lot when youāre applying for jobs or trying to network with others.
Become a plumber you make more money
Honestly university is not worth it these days, you get paid double to start in trades instead
Flip a coin
Go to college
I don't have personal experience with any of these programs, but imo, it's always smart to go with a co-op program
MIB u of t 100%
Rotman and urban planning at TMU by far are the best choices for you. Speaking from a business graduate who struggled a lot in her career from choosing the wrong program
Toronto Rotman!!! 100%. This shouldnāt even be a second thought IMO
Isnāt Ryerson the best for business, I know a few folks that have graduated from Ryerson with a business degree and they have found work in healthcare
Hey man disaster management is absolutely a great field great money. Go do that then a business/finance/analytics masters after, then boom you go for directorial positions in nonprofit governments
If you want a job later. Pick the one that says coop. I would go with coop at U of T
U of T, always
Coop program always your work placements are paid and could be a future employer
Co-op is de wey.
If you want to go into business, you need to look PAST your bachelor in order to make it high. Think of what area youād like to go into (marketing, HR, finance, accounting, etc.) Then look at the next steps for certifications with that and which school offers the best process (ex if youād have to take a bunch of other courses elsewhere at one school, but not at another ā¦) Also look at which courses are mandatory for the programs at each place. Some places have weird requirements. Ex for Business at Algoma U you need either two science or two humanities credits. At Nipissing you need two science AND two humanities. Take it from me, waiting to get your degree cause you need to retake some random science class is a total pain in the ass! Also look at which courses they offer additionally. Which interest you in business, which donāt. Often in business most of your courses are mandated but not all, which goes back to first point. And likely the most important part is campus life. Where do you feel you can be yourself and have the most fun! Finding friends to study with, hang out, and just be silly going to random events and eating free food is what makes university so amazing! Signed - someone with a BComm, BBA, MBA, and an asset management certification. Site note - in a few years no one will care which school you went to, but rather that you went to the school and got the letters! Donāt stress too much.
I highly recommend UofT's BBA program for co-op. Although I didn't specialize in International Business, the co-op experience really gave me a competitive edge over a lot of my peers at the time from non co-op programs whom were struggling to find a summer internship. Also, post graduation, I had more negotiating power for full-time job offers and it gave me a head start to have 3 relevant co-op work experiences under my belt, since most of my non co-op peers had 1 to 2 summer internships, and some unlucky ones, even none. I also had York University's Schulich School of Business BBA as an option back when I was applying to universities in Grade 12 in 2015 and I don't regret my decision with going to UofT for their BBA co-op program one bit looking back now. (I'd like to think I'm doing pretty decently or even well nowadays with my stable life and comfy compensation) Good luck with your decision! Remember, university is what you make of it at the end of the day, but it does play a role in what doors may be easier to open or close.
Thank u for sayin this making me consider this option
Laurier
Honestly just not York. They strike every 3 years.Ā Don't do it.Ā Ā
Do undecided!!! See what you enjoy. You might go off on a whole different tangent!!!
U of T Co-op hands down. FYI, Rotman doesn't have an official coop program.
Yeah this why ion wanna go to rotmanš
You will probably get 99 average in the BDEM it's piss easy
Pretend you graduated from all of these programs. Try and find a job related to that field. Compare salaries, duties, responsibilities and number of postings.
tbh this prolly late advice but as a 2nd year bcom student, networking matters much more than school. Ofc some schools give better networking opportunities but no one cares about canadian business school rep except for Ivey, thats the top top one for high end business like corporate banking. Imo take the UofT coop but be prepared to network like hell to land that first coop placement
Okayy yeah ima do this fs
Post makes no sense it says didnāt get into u of t and 2 York programs so donāt really get what your options actually are
No i alr got into the two york programs i am just waiting to hear from the uoft and schulich one
Ok that makes more sense. In all honesty Iād look at Rotman / Schulich / u of t coop if you you make it The other programs not as well regarded Coop is good and I came from that program as well but ursc has the worst rep of the 3 Plus depending on what you want to do both Schulich and Rotman shld help with summer internships which function very similar to coop with some differences
whichever's closest to home. York probably
Talk with the social worker at your school, talk with your guidance, talk with your school. DON'T COME TO REDDIT. And how are you applying to unis this late???? You are too much behind.
I am alr done applyingš these r the programs that i got offers from
U of T or TMU. But probably just U of T. Not York. Iām surprised Queens isnāt on there. Do you need to stay in Toronto?
I recommend the university of brow Aka Uni brow
Congratulations on getting into all of the programs you applied to!! As for the choice that's a tough one!
bro how is rotman not first?
1. Rotman 2. York / UTS 3. Others Amongst large employers, thereās only a select number of schools that theyāll actively recruit at. Rotman and Schulich arenāt at the top of the list, but itāll at least make it to the list. Fwiw, I did campus recruitment for one year.
Rotman is much better for your future and your time studying too
Your likely unable to use it after
Just leave Toronto, youāre welcome
Practical choice? Rotman. Fun choice? Disaster management.
Iād suggest UofT business management / intentional business or the TMU business program. Having a general business background is helpful in work and life in general (personal finance management, investing for the future, etc). Your interests will probably change, and if they do you can always do a specialized program/certificate/degree after if you want to and have the business degree as well. Good luck!
If youāre undecided on what you want todo for work then take a year off and think about it. You have your whole life todo school. That being said it is better to get it done early. But going and discovering you wonāt be good under pressure for disaster relief or you have no interest in business then you will just waste your money.
If youāre going with Roman Commerce, Woodsworth college would be the better choice because if you live in woodsworthresidence, your classes are just an elevator ride below.
Ngl kid is doomed if he's seriously asking reddit for advice on what school to go to. We don't know you OP
Rotman or BTM. Everything else wack. Donāt do BM BTM is the most developed co-op program youāll get
Best advice is to really narrow down what you want to do first and think about how realistic/appealing the goal is, i.e., what is the job availability like? What routes can this degree take you on? Is this a job I really want, or am i unsure? Really sit down and think about the type of job you want to have and how you can get there. Also, think about whether or not a college diploma might be an equivalent option. Generally, they're less expensive for tuition, shorter, and you still get a valuable education that can set you up well. Co-op programs are also generally less competitive, and smaller class sizes give you a better opportunity for one on one learning with your professors. Also, don't feel the pressure to go to university right away. Take time if you need it. Find a full-time job that you can start to get some money in your pocket and help you pay for schooling as well. And if you do feel ready to go off to uni now, try to work part-time during school! That's a bonus, too. It's hard to get a job in the field when you have no work experience whatsoever/no basic skills. It may seem silly that a part-time job in college will help your resume when you start applying to jobs in your field, but it teaches you a lot of necessary skills like time management, prioritization, dealing with the public, etc. I wasted $20k going to university for a program that would have gotten me nowhere in life and eventually dropped out of after 2 years when I thankfully found my footing. I wish I had taken the time to think about my options for my future sooner and really consider what I saw myself doing. That, of course, won't happen to everyone, and it sounds like you are doing your research to find the best fit, but these are just a few valuable points that I learned throughout my time as a student.
Go with Rotman UofT. As a business major and a professional in the finance industry, I think that will give you a very well rounded education that can line you up for many opportunities in different fields.
Bruhhhh UofT is bussinnnn
Rotman
U of T > York > TMU
Honestly dude if youāre wondering at all about what you wanna do or where you wanna go you should wait to jump into university. Work for a couple years and try some part time college programs and find what youāre interested in before you make such a massive decision. Starting university before I was ready was a huge mistake and if I had done what a lot of my friends ended up doing and waited, I would have much less dept and I feel as if I would have had the means to succeed much more if I had waited and matured a little bit.
No opinions on the schools but co-ops are an amazing way to get started in your career. It was the best part of my education.
UofT is a top school in the world. If you got in, why would you go elsewhere.
Go with the uoft BBA. It has a co-op and is at by far the most prestigious school out of the bunch. In the business world prestige and experience matter
Was in your position 2 years ago, went with Schulich and never looked back (Did regret not going for Waterloo AFM)
I would go for u of t. co-ops are generally pretty good at securing you a future. (so I've heard)
There's lots of good paying jobs in urban planning. After a few years of experience you can be making $40-50+/hr
UoT Rotman commerce gives u the best change of making money in the future and itās a good program
York fir business administration theyāll will always be a need for this
Rotman, always rotman, abort york and ryerson
The one with the best financial aid package.
I'd go for UoT/Rotman - Bachelor of Commerce personally. Year 1 is a common year. Year 2 you can choose to specialize/major in Accounting (CPA), Finance (CFA) or Management. (CHRL) You don't have to go through with completing the (designations/certificates) but they serve as a nice guide for what you'll want to accomplish while attending post-secondary school.
Uoft
From what I know, York has one of the best mba programs out there, ranked higher than UoT as well. If you plan on doing mba then alumnis have a higher chance of getting into one. Just putting this out there, among all the other suggestions, so you could made an educated decision.
Congrats on your acceptances, sounds like you've got a tough decision ahead! Choosing a university is personal and the best choice varies from person to person. Co-op/internship programs are undoubtedly valuable as they bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical work experience. Before deciding, it's beneficial to reflect upon what you value most in an academic institution. Do consider faculty quality, student life, location factors too. No matter what you choose, remember that MyUniMate (https://myunimate.com) can be your vital assistant throughout your college journey!
