Ideally I hope to pursue a career in Quantitative research leading up to a role in portfolio management after graduation. I am also keen to refine my programming skills to pivot into a data science role should my plan not work out. With this in mind I would like to seek your advice on which program would be more suitable. Personally, I am leaning towards Cornell due to its brand name as well as relatively decent career services and likely more support with the smaller cohort. On the other hand BU MSMF would definitely provide a more comprehensive training in quant finance and might be more applicable in landing a role in quantitative research. I do have some concerns about the placement statistics at BU as well as the purported grade deflation from past reviews.Thanks in advance for your response.</blockquote>
