Chicago MSFM or Columbia MathFin?

[Y F]

These are the offers I currently have.. also on Cornell's wl.. waiting for CMU, NYU and Baruch..
however Chicago's deadline is tomorrow.. Any idea? should i pay the deposit for chicago first and wait for the others?
thanks!

Vote for Columbia. Location, curriculum, job placement. I am not saying Uchicago MSFM is bad, but Columbia MAFN is better.

if you don't specifically want to live in chicago, I'd say follow Zhang's advice and go with New York. no discussion.

i put a similar post days ago and you can find it on the forum to see if there are discussions that help.

you might as well request for an extension of deposit ddl by email. I did so and it worked.

Plus, now i'm leaning towards Columbia.

Hope this helps.
