Hello,

I have received offers to MIT MFin, Columbia MSOR, and Imperial College RMFE. My primary goal is to get into a top 25 Finance PhD program after this program (I want to be a professor). Does anyone here have any insight as to which program would give me the best shot at being admitted to a PhD program, assuming I get solid grades?

Thanks for the advice.

Matt
 
Doing a phd in any field requires a deep theoretical understanding of the material in question. To the best of my knowledge the programs you named above (except maybe the MSOR) are all geared towards the applied side of things. Columbia's mafn or its stats masters are examples of programs that are geared more towards future phd candidates.
