I was wondering if anyone out there could tell me what they honestly think of these programs? How is the job market for people who graduated from Cornell/CMU this past December? LSE last May?
Many of these programs are not releasing information on how their alumni are faring or how many people they're placing in internships. Andy has sent questionnaires to these places (and others). If memory serves, I think only Princeton replied.
If, on the other hand, you want hearsay and anecdotal evidence, you must agree this provides a fragile and unreliable basis for a rational decision. For what little it's worth, I'd probably choose CMU from the list you've provided. It's probably the oldest program around; it has a reputation in the market; and its faculty are seasoned (like Steven Shreve). More than this I cannot say. Caveat Emptor.
