I’m a 3rd year student at schulich school of business thinking of transferring to another business school, but I can’t seem to find anywhere that is suitable.

I have looked at some ivey league salary statistics and to be honest I am not really all that impressed that people at tier 1 schools are paying 8-9 times my tuition and often coming up with equal or lower paying jobs on average.

Even when I looked down the list of other good business schools who rank better than schulich I found that their salaries were almost on average lower even for the same industries and functions, even with similar recruiters (aka consulting). So I don’t know, maybe there is some interpretation I am missing, even after currency exchange it is not enough to explain why better schools grads are being paid less. for example, when you look at the finance salary in investment banking or trading for schulich its up there in 150k, but i can’t find no other school that has even similar stats for top of the class undergrads.

I don’t really like my program to be honest and can’t really stand another year in it, I probably should have transferred out years ago but I am the kind of person who tries to get the job done.

My gpa is a 3.1-2ish, which is slightly above the bell curved average they make at our school who uses a ■■■■■■■■ 9.0 scale (■■■■■■■■ because no one gets 9, there is no b, just b+ or b- which means that if you get 89% in all your course but 1, your average is the exact same as someone who got 76% in all their courses.
