Also, what's the level of brand recognition and alumni presence in India for Georgetown vs. Rotman; might be something to consider for your long term goals.

In all cases, I wouldn't let a started visa application process determine where you study for two years/which network you join for life! (0)

anon67975 Likes Earned: 0 The brand recognition for georgetown is high in the public policy space. Not necessarily within the relam of general MBA grads, Rotman is relatively less well known here overall. But based on the statistics I saw (from 2024-2025) it appears that only 78% of georgetown mcdonough grads got jobs within 3 months of graduation meanwhile 83% of students got jobs within 3 months at Rotman. I get the sense that the two are relatively at par. I know you said not to factor in the started visa application but I have basically done everything for Rotman, a non refundable (5K CAD despoit), all the transcripts and documents have been sent and a loan to fund the education has been approved. I am also concerned about the job market during the course duration. US colleges only allow you to work on campus meanwhile Canadian colleges allow off campus work, which means more opportunities to fund my life. (0)
