Thanks a lot for your reply!
I got into the Honours Bachelor of Science (Financial Econ) at UofT. I wasn’t really keen on UofT because of their extreme class sizes (biggest classes of about 1000 students, to the fewest: about 300 approx.) and fierce competition. I’ve heard it’s often hard to reach out to profs esp for undergrad students. Their rankings are high only beacause of their research output and Masters/PhD programs. So, I think it would be better for a PhD or a Grad program.
UofT might have more prestige, but tbh, most top schools in Canada are roughly at the same level of prestige. So, looking into the program, the BIE program at UBC seemed to be more unique and interesting to me. And Western appealed to me only because of their Business School - Ivey, to which I can apply in my second year and do a dual program of sorts.
This was just my observation. But what’s your view on UBC vs. UofT
