please anything but the gray

I contacted Lynne for U of T scotiabank and she said the overall limit is increasing in the next few weeks.

Hi Eudaimonia, my advisor didn't mention this, but I was looking on scotia bank's website, and it says when we open a new Scotia One banking account, we can get up with 10k points. the conditions are in fine print at the very bottom. http://www.scotiabank.com/ca/en/personal/bank-accounts/chequing-accounts/scotiaone-chequing-account.html My question for you: did you get anything extra on top of the upfront offer?

I contacted RBC and scotiabank recently and this is a comparison: 1. Credit cards annual fee: both top of the line cards, mostly similar/comparable perks with Scotia having slight upper hand. Difference: RBC offered to waive annual fees for 4 years, Scotia for 4 years + residency + 2 year grace period. That, if RBC does not budge, is a ~$1000 difference (if residency = 5 years, annual fee $120-135). 2. Credit cards welcoming points: RBC gives 30,000 with no strings attached (up to $700 value). Scotia bank gives $250 equivalent if you spend $1000 in first 90 days. That's a +$500 for R

rainbow colour. we be inclusive and bright and seconds the flamboyance.

it's too far from home haha. i'd choose to stay as close as i can, and I've 90% decided U of T. Why, do you think Western has an edge over both schools?

I agree, thanks to both of the answerers! Very helpful, and now I'm tipping towards Toronto, haha

ok so an update. for me, the feelings from first 5 minutes after coming out of interviews were extremely accurate (5/5 schools predicted). But of course, after those initial 5 minutes, all went to hell and I thought I was stupid for each and every one of them, some more so than others, and those feelings were no where near correct.

Yea we'd be eligible. it's the same process as is for undergrad. You can still do estimates and all. Same website same everything. just put medicine as program name

Thank you, that is very helpful. I'm not good with finances at all, so your pointers (and pointers on this forum) really help me. much appreciated.

so is Scotiabank still the best option? or have other banks caught on?

I know this has been asked before in the past few years, but do want to hear some more recent opinions. Both schools are great (U of T is my undergrad, closer to home). What do you guys think? What are some factors I should consider? Thank you in advance!
