Ivy League vs. UCL, McGill, University of Toronto

<p>

</p>

<p>Do you define 10% as a decent chance? This is not to say that you are not a worthy applicant; it is to say that the vast majority of qualified applicants get rejected from these places. Please do not cast aside your good undergraduate acceptances to chase an Ivy pipe dream. What is your school counselor telling you? At any rate, even if you go to an Ivy, unless you are a US citizen or green card holder, it will be hard for you to stay in the US after graduation unless a company is willing to sponsor you for a visa. They are becoming increasingly reluctant to do this because it is getting very expensive for a mere junior hire.</p>

<p>Are you a US citizen or green card holder? </p>

<p>Where do you want to live and work as an adult? </p>

<p>I don’t think your current decision should be driven by concerns about getting into US MBA programs. That’s too far down the line and you don’t know enough about your goals yet. “Top level management” is vague. What industry? What kind of work? You need to stop thinking in terms of overall prestige and reputation and start thinking about concrete goals. All prestige is relative. Going to UCL to study law over McGill for business is not going to make you more employable in the US in a generic sense IMHO. </p>

<p>There is also an MBA sub forum here where you might get some insight.
