COMPARE Columbia MFE vs. Berkeley vs. CMU vs. Stanford

[EvelynC]

Hi I just received MFE offer from Columbia for 15Fall.

Hope to know people's opinion on this program:
-How's its reputation in US?
-Is it suitable for ppl with working experience and want to change their career to asset management/structuring? (I have been working for around 2 years in a BB)
-How is it compared with other programs (Berkeley, CMU, Stanford)?

Thanks a lot!

I got the ad from MFE Columbia as well as MSCF in CMU New York campus. I am currently considering between this two.

I feel the career services in CMU is better than Columbia, and it will be easier to find a job, especially in S&T. But a MFE alumnus mentions Columbia actually has better connection with companies in New York.

Would love to hear all your opinion.

@IntoDarkness means Stanford has finished admitting? or the program is not good?
