MBB / T2: top targets are Ivey, Queens, Mcgill, followed by U of T, Schulich, Waterloo. Soft targets (in the sense that there are technically people who have gone to MBB) include UBC, Laurier, UCalgary, etc.
For Big 4, it's all of the above plus more schools (e.g., throw in McMaster, Ryerson, UAlberta, etc.)
Thank you for your reply. Out of the top targets (I go to one of the above), what does it look like? Does say McGill place mostly in Montreal office?
90%+ of Canadian MBB slots are Toronto, so it honestly isn't too insightful to look at which schools place where.
You'll see a bit of regional bias where - for the most part - only people at Mcgill will apply to the Montreal office and only people at UCalgary will apply to the Calgary offices, etc. But you'll see people from those schools in Toronto as well.
This definitely tracks. Just to add a bit more depth. Queen's and Ivey have a direct pipeline to MBB where they have placements, on-campus recruiting and defined timelines and cohorts. For other universities like Waterloo, it's more equivalent to general applications not bound to any particular program. Management engineers, double-degree students, accounting & finance students and many others apply and a few (maybe ~2-3 in any given cohort) place in those firms. I wouldn't really call anything outside of Queen's and Ivey a target, everything else is semi-target or lower on the list.
Schools place everywhere. It's just such a small market that you just tell them which office you want and that's where you'll interview.
That being said, Canada really is Ivey - it's like 50% of each cohort.
Does anyone know the 2024 summer recruitment deadlines for BCG & Bain Toronto for Ivey/Queens? Finding it difficult to find the info
