hmm thanks for input.. but do they give a strong alumini network??I think that only matters right? n do recruiters consider "the university factor" while shortlisting??
too confused as the fees is almost equivalent to other univ with better reputation..
Have you applied somwhere else too??

Well i'd consider this,
there are obvioulsy better Universities with lesser fees and some PG diploma courses and everything,yes agreed!
But the fact is,this is still a university,even though with a Pre-MBA like course it stills attracts so many students and unlike last year the visa rejections for this UNI has come down cuz of the explanation with the VISA consulate(I spoke to a guy NAthan over the phone about TRU visa issues and he explained its solved unlike last year) so I'd say even though its expensive a little,for non businesses graduates like me,its gonna help,and the job prospects are the same for every graduate who comes out!except maybe the exceptional ones around like HARWARD or john hopkinS or whichever ones that are the elite group.the fees is relative to the standards.
i am not saying this is a good uni,but its also not a bad one.
Yes I have applied to tht USA,
I havent come across Uni's in Canada for MAy intake for MBA or MHA
do you have any input on that?

ohkay ,so you are saying that university does not matter until you are a passout from Harward n the elite groups!!(correct me if I am wrong)
May intake - I have seen Dalhousie uni reviews(co-op one) which are very good.but Deadline was Dec.
Sept intake- If you have good GMAT score you can aim for very good univ . but deadlines are approaching soon.
PS- I have not yet applied anywhere.(I am also an engineer so non business background)
TRU is Sept intake right? Have you looked at Royal Roads, Vancouver Island, university of Victoria?? these are without GMAT Score.

Well,i guess yes,its the same in India too i guess isnt it?
unless you are an IIM graduate,rest all come second to them!
TRU has a may intake too,the GCBA starts in may
I am not too positive about VIU as i didnt really get favorable views about it,but Uni of Victoria i heard is good too.and I think has sep intake.

ya,it's almost the same in India. 
Regarding reviews frankly I din't got good reviews for any of them (This is a personal opinion), So confused. Also some ppl (seniors of this grp) guided me to opt for Univ with good reputation n for that if you have to wait for next intake it will be worth it. But getting a degree from these univ is of no use(until PR is not your only motive). Hope it will help you to decide something. Lemme knw if you need any other info

True about that!
Both didnt really have good ones,but TRU fared marginally better
plus a University plus May intake,i think that suits me,hence just going ahead with it.Aage ka dekheneg kya hota hai!
PR is my main motive though along with a backup degree to have ,cuz this is for me a route to Dentistry not my final plan.so lets just hope the visa gets accepted
getting an acceptance letter i think is easy though
whats your profile like BTW?
and whre are you from?

Ha Ha so you and I kind of are in the same boat,we need to clear the GCBA before the mba
the GCBA starts in May,and the MBA in Jan,I have already spoken to the PD at TRU.
We would be required to clear the GCBA with atlwast a B grade to go into MBA whci I think shouldnt be too difficult in case I do get into
yes I have applied,already,and waiting for the admission letter.
VISA is whats bothering me as its almost a Career line change for me.
