Any help would be amazing!

Personally, I'm at York University doing a BAS in General Management (doing it in 5 1/2 years rather than 4...presently in Year 4). Honestly, Ryerson let's any Tom, Dick and Harry into their business programs, so I'd stay away. Queens is probably the best out of the ones you mentioned, but Carleton is really good too. You should have considered Scheulich (sp?) at York which probably truimphs those listed, or Western's Ivy or Laurier or Waterloo or U of T. Personally, I really think for an undergrad, it really makes little difference where you graduated from with regards to business. As long as your marks are good, no worries. I think it matters where you do it with regards to your post grad studies (which I personally have no intention of doing aside from possibly a teachers college stint). What it comes down to is the environment that you're comfortable in, and can control yourself from going out every night. I could have gone to UofT, and I'm so glad I didn't. Too much competition, no friends, most are geeks, and worst...no girls. If you go to Ryerson, expect people telling you, "I got in there, but went to ____ instead." Carleton expect nice girls. Queens, "which gas station do you wanna hang out at tonight guys?...". Western, expect...gonorrhea (nevermind, that wasn't one of your choices...but it's sure to get you one hell of a time!)
