COMPARE Headache: Cornell AOR, Imperial RMFE, BU, or UCB?

[nuttavutj]

Hey guys,

I have been accepted to Cornell AOR, BU MSMF, and Imperial Risk Management and Financial Engineering. I am still waiting for UCB and NYU. (I dont think I can make it into NYU)

As of now Im aiming towards Cornell. I am considering Imperial as well but I do not see any point moving to the UK as I have been in the states since high school. I mean the school brand and course contents are pretty much on the same line except a location. I think between these two it all comes down to where I want to study/work. Do you all agree with me?

I have a deadline coming up but UCB has not released the second round result yet I believe. I submitted my application around the second week of Feb, and it says on the website that the decision will be out no later than June. I really do not want to push them to give me my admission decision considering it has been just about a month and a half since they got my application.

So it comes down to Cornell and UCB. Which one is worth going to? Should I bother emailing them to rush through my application because I have a deadline to meet?

Thanks for your inputs in advance!
Nuttavut

If you getinto UCB go there. They had 100% placement for internship this year and basically all at Associate level. They placed all their students like more than 2 months ago.

Cornell AOR places pretty darned well, but Berkeley also has a great program which might wind up costing less. I think you can rule out BU and perhaps Imperial at this point if you want to work in New York.
