a top ranked school like McGill University would give me an advantage. Now that you are at McGill, does the university's top spot in national rankings and relatively high international status affect how you feel about your choice of school? Foss: The fact that McGill ranks incredibly well is a source of pride and gives me a sense of self-accomplishment for working hard to get here. Muntean: I'm happy with my decision because I know that whatever I choose to do after graduating, I will have an advantage coming from the number one school in the country, and one of the best schools in the world. Do you think McGill's place in the rankings will have an effect on your employability post-graduation? Foss: I think being at McGill will definitely give me a competitive edge in the job market. Employers will most certainly know of McGill's international rankings and will probably favour a graduate from McGill in comparison to other universities. Muntean: I don't know that McGill's ranking will have an effect on my employability after graduation, but I certainly hope so. I think that if it comes down to two candidates with identical skills and capabilities -- a McGill graduate and someone else who did not go to a top-ranked school -- chances are that the McGill graduate will get the job, if only because the employer will recognize the name and know of the school's position in the rankings.
