Hi Nanda, I'm just admitted to this program. My original choice of the campus was Pittsburgh, but were told that NYC is much convenient for job hunting. On the other hand, personally I want to have more campus life rather than studying by conference vedio. I know it's an old topic but still want to hear your opinion about this. Thx a lot!

Hi BillLi, Being at NYC helps you a lot with your networking. If you are targeting the S&T kind of roles at banks, you definitely need to network a lot and being at NYC helps you. Pittsburgh is a laid back city. You don't spend much time commuting and you always have professors around. Being in MSCF, you are so occupied with the curriculum that you may not enjoy the activities going on in CMU. But being with the MBA's is definitely fun. I hope this helps. Feel free to drop me a message if you need more info.

I would talk to current MSCF students before going to the program. Ask them questions about the amount of homework they get, the job/internship placements (especially this year), and how many people fail out/don't graduate from the program. Better yet ask Rick Bryant these questions during the interview. Getting the interview and getting into the school is the easy part.

@Nanda Kishore !! Do they let you take/sit through the MBA classes, if you like to do so?
