hi everyone! I am admitted into the two programs and still don't know where to go. Uchicago, of course, has a better reputation in the field than umich. But, the program is much shorter. As an international students, I want to get a job in US at graduation. So, I think the time length is crucial. I have no internship experience in US now. UC's program is too short to secure me an internship. Also, currently I have talked to some Chinese students in UC, they said it is very hard for them to find a job now. So, any advice for me? Thanks a lot!
 
Hi foundme
Congrats with your admits. Can you add your timelines to our Tracker at www.quantnet.com/tracker?
It's clear that students at both programs have some difficulty finding jobs, specially for international students. Have you found out what kind of career services offered at both place?
These days, it takes more than the name to secure a job.
You may want to talk to other Chinese students in our sister site (cn.quantnet.com)
 
anyone has more info about the Chicago MSFM program?

any improvements in the following since the shake-ups in 2010 in terms of the following?

- career services and career placement?

- teaching quality?
