COMPARE IIT Chicago MMF vs Stevens MFE

[virtualvilla]

Hello, I've received offers from IIT and Stevens. I have received 10k scholarship from Stevens, none from IIT. I would like to work on the quant investing end after masters. I am confused on which program to go for, and whether a stochastic oriented course by IIT is better than a more comprehensive course from Stevens. I'm non-us citizen. I want to know the possible career paths available at these locations and the ones that align with what I intend to do. If there are any other factors that I should consider, kindly point out.

Please leave your suggestions.

Hi,

I have the same offers including Rutgers MMF for Fall 21, Could you please help me to make a decision if you are already admitted and gone through any course.

Stevens. Great location and good value-for-money program from my point of view given that is not expensive and I got a scholarship.

Thank you! I did not. Fordham was not placed way above Stevens and the tuition is way higher whereas employment stats do not seem stronger. Rutgers is too expensive for me. Please note I am Spanish and my dad has to cosign my student loan and he basically cannot afford to cosign a, let's say, $50k loan

Got it...where did you get placement stats from? (besides quantnet rankings of course)

Placement stats are always easy to find....You can find on their website. If its not on their website then email them. If they don't provide it then its a bright red flag.
