<p>I went to McGill. I work on Wall Street and make well over $100K in my first year out of school. I am not an exception. Sure it was ranked #1 by MacLeans, sure it has one of the highest entering grades in Canada, sure it produces more Rhodes Scholars than any other Canadian school and sure it was ranked as Playboy’s top 10 party schools. That doesn’t matter and frankly, who cares. What matters is that every major firm will recruit at McGill and you will get a job. It is the ONLY internationally recognized Canadian university. Period.</p>
<p>Why?</p>
<p>As far as Americans are concerned:</p>
<p>U of T = University of Texas</p>
<p>Queen’s = It’s a sketchy area of New York - Queens College (City University of NY)…however, to most they think of the one at Oxford but then are disappointed when they find out it’s in Kingston, Ontario. Also, Queen’s College Bahamas, Queens’ College Cambridge, Queens College Mallorca (Spain), Queens University of Charlotte, Queen’s University of Belfast…take your pick</p>
<p>Western - Here’s a conversation about Western:</p>
<ul>

<li>Harvard?</li>
<li>No</li>
<li>Yale? </li>
<li>No</li>
<li>Brown??? </li>
<li>No…University of Western of Ontario, Richard Ivey is the dude that gave us some cash</li>
<li>Oh…where’s Ontario, is that in California?</li>
