Hi all, would like to know your opinions regarding both these courses, and which of the two would y'all prefer if gotten into. I have checked the rankings, both the course descriptions match my interests, hence my dilemma.
Would really like to know your choices and the reasons for those choices as well.
Thank You

Between these 2 schools, I think the location would be one of the key factors. I like Fordham being in the tristate area.

Hi all,I've narrowed down my choices to the above 2 programs..I'm leaning towards fordham for the following reasons
1)In my discussion with Director sheng,I got to know a lot more about what the program offers its students,and it seemed way more aligned with my career goals.
2)NYC location
3) Numerous discussions with both fordham and BU current students-Most recommending fordham
4)Cheaper
5)fordham seems to be more 'reputed' in the industry.
A bit about myself-Im currently working as a consultant to Mizuho US as part of their model risk group.I also have prior experience in pricing of various interest rate and equity derivatives using computational means(Mostly FDM).I have an engineering degree with an abysmal GPA and currently my interests lie in solving complicated PDEs computationally.
Thanks

go fordham, the internships and jobs in the tri-state area are unlimited
boston university's placement rate is very very very very low man like (quantnet removed that data for some reason) 40% employed at 3 months and 17% within US.
