Hi everyone, I got offers from UCLA MFE and Chicago MSFM. I initally wanted to accept UCLA, but Chicago offered me 70% scholorship on tuition which is very tempting. My career goal is to become quant research analyst in hedge funds. I’d like to know which program is better for quant research role in buy-side. Chicago location is obviuosly an advantage and curriculum looks very good, but I heard bad things about the program. UCLA MFE also is a very good program, and the employment stats looks better than Chicago.

Any insight or comment would be appreciated.
 
Hey, i think chicago program is more tailored towards trader positions but im not sure
