Hi Mr. Canadian Banker, Kristen from MBA Prep School here. As a former MIT Sloan adcom, I had to respond to your profile! There is a lot to like about your candidacy. UToronto has a strong reputation and your academic performance and finance major should leave no concerns about your ability to do quant work.
