COMPARE JHU vs BU

[Weiwei Gu]

Could anyone give me some suggestion on how to choose between the Financial Mathematics at Johns Hopkins and Mathematical Finance at Boston University ?

Mathematical Finance at Boston University is ranked higher at Quantnet. I heard the placement is OK. Being in Business School it suppose to have good networking with the industry.

Johns Hopkins is a great school, its Financial Mathematics is a new brand(less than 5 years I guess?) but developed quite fast( began to be ranked top 20 the first time last year). But I don't know how will Quantnet ranks it this year.
Financial Mathematics @ JHU is in its engineering college, so I concern how good the career service could be, in the area of finance

In terms of finding a job, is JHU in a big disadvantage ?

Financial Mathematics @ JHU is in its engineering college, and the program director's research has nothing to do with finance. So I concern how good the career service could be.

Where did you hear that "BU's placement is OK"?

Where did you hear that "BU's placement is OK"?

Because my friend graduated from this program found a job and stay in US. And he says positive about this program.
That's what I heard.
Could you tell me what do you know about it.

Thanks.
I just heard back from friend at JHU that they think their placement should be better than BU.
Do you have any information about JHU's placement
