Hi,
I'm a student from Brazil, I study engineering at Universidade de São Paulo (USP), highly regarded in Latin America (top 1 in most university rankings). It has great connections with other universities around the world as well. I also have a pretty good curriculum with exchange to Japan (with scholarship) and internship at one of the biggest hedge funds here. I'm looking to apply for a master's degree in quant next year. I've seen that the best universities for the subject are in the US or Europe, but I think there are some great programs in places like Hong Kong or Singapore. I have some friends that graduated in the US (UCLA, GT, USC), so I think I'm capable on doing well in my applications.
My questions are:
How hard is it to get accepted for a master's degree in quant in a good university in the US or the UK for international students?
If I get a master's degree in HKUST or NUS, how difficult is it to get a job in the US or Europe?
