Hi everyone:
I am so glad to find this website. it really helps me a lot. I am a international student from China. I have got two admission from fsu & wpi and both of the program are MS in financial mathematics. I really want to get some advice from you, which one should I choose，regarding the job opportunity and the tuition. Thank you very much for helping me out. And bless for all of you.

WPI gets my vote considering their curriculum and location. Although FSU is good too, you would not have location advantage.

FYI>> WPI too does not have a great location advantage, although it is quite better than FSU's location because of it's approximity to Boston, NY etc.

thanks kbharadwaj，I found that the curriculums in wpi almost all are mathematics but the fsu focus on finance balance with mathematics . I want to know is it useful to learn some financial course for finding a good job in future。

You could pursue CFA level I. That would sure help you in your present and future. That should help.

CFA level 1，what's that, a exam?

Chartered Financial Analyst.. Yes it is indeed an exam. You can take that up before you start your program. Google it..
