Queen's School of Business, Canada

Queen's School of Business is one of the premier business schools in the world.
Founded in 1937
Courses:
Full time MBA, Executive MBA, Cornell-Queen’s Executive MBA, Accelerated MBA
Here we will talk about the Full time MBA only as I am looking for full time only.
#1 in Canada
Queen’s full time MBA is an intensive 12 month program, focusing mainly on team work and leadership.
3 highlights of the program:
1. Focus on personal assessment and personal development. A personal coach will guide you through out your MBA and even after that, helping you enhance and fully leverage your strengths.
2. Focus on team work. Learning more about teams, developing your team and leadership skills
3. Personalize your MBA through international exchanges, elective streams and earning professional designations during MBA only eg. PMP and CMA (these certainly will add to your profile)

Positives:
- 1 year course so your time away from work is less so investment is relatively less
- Smaller class – more attention/interaction with profs and faculty
- Tuition fee – CAN $65,000 (+ around 20-25k for living expenses) so its quite less expensive than most of the US bschools
- Major + is that you can apply for PR in Canada and your 1 year will be counted in for 3 years requirement

Negatives:
- one year course, less time in college so I guess less learning time
- smaller batch size means less people which means less knowledge sharing (may be) some people like smaller batches and some don’t..

The deadline for first round is 28-Nov and I was surprised to see that quite a few guys have already been offered admits. I didn’t know Queen’s have rolling admissions. I thought I had some time but every passing day means chances are becoming lesser (even if by .001%)
So all of you guys who are looking forward to Queen’s, get going and get faster.. there is not much time left. But again I would say, submit your app. only when you are fully satisfied.
Best of luck.
Ciao.
