<p>Sauder</a> Student Wall Street Bound - UBC Reports</p>
<p>How is this possible?</p>
<p>well, UBC has one of the best econ programs in North America and the best in Canada. In any case, it was clearly her ECs…</p>
<p>BTW, it’s more impressive that she was directly admitted to HBS. The top Canadian schools always send a handful of students to Wall Street, they just represent a tiny % of their very large student bodies.</p>
<p>o.O</p>
<p>Well, one of my classmates’ brother also got in Merrill Lynch. </p>
<p>And he went to UBC as well.</p>
<p>wutangfinancial,</p>
<p>Would you be willing to discuss econ at McGill with me? It would be of GREAT help. I’m trying to decide where to go next fall.</p>
<p>Please PM me with some way of contacting you, your PM box is full.</p>
<p>My completely unprofessional opinion here, so yeah.</p>
<p>But if you want to get into iBanking from a Canadian Univ, </p>
<p>UWO Ivey appears to be the best.
Queens is second, then probably Schulich at york/Mcgill.</p>
<p>I am prefacing this with I have no idea what position she got… just for the record. However, if I read the article correctly, it never mentioned. So it is also entirely possible she received an Ops/BO offer from an Investment Bank.</p>
<p>Either way, I think the direct admit to HBS is more impressive. That’s really tough to do. It was absolutely her EC btw. They like interesting people.</p>
<p>Sauder isn’t a “total non-target” actually. It isn’t at the top of the list for Canada but if you are a solid candidate that institution will not hold you back at all. I have seen a handful of Sauder grads around Wall Street in front office positions, with about the same frequency as I see McGill grads and much greater than Schulich.</p>
<p>I’m not surprised. Sauder is probably harder to get in than schulich, and on par with Queens. Too many nerdy asians in vancouver.</p>
<p>She goes to one of the best schools in Canada and she’s way more impressive than most college grads that get into IBanking. Let’s put it this way: most Wall Street staff can’t get into HBS. I am not surprised at all.</p>
<p>I don’t see how UBC is one of the best schools in Canada. Should I go to UBC and not to programs like Ivey and so forth?</p>
<p>For business the six best would be Ivey, Queens, Schulich, McGill, UBC and Toronto. So I think it’s fair to say it’s one of the best considering there are something like 40 or 50 universities in Canada.</p>
