Hello,
I got into these two programs and have been debating on which one to take for a while.
I tend to take MIT because of the brand name but also do wanna turn down CMU (NYC campus), which is probably the best in FE.
Without scholarship from CMU the cost would be around $70K for one and a half year, which is almost the same with MIT Mfin.
I really like MSCF but have very little programming background so I wonder if I can handle those programing intensive courses, but one the other hand, getting familiar with programming might be always beneficial in future career.
It looks like it's easier to get a job right after graduation from CMU ( MIT is only one year without internship opportunity, so it might be difficult to get a job? ) but in the long run MIT has a bigger name. I will try to work in the State first and go back to Asia later.
My career goal is in hedge funds or S&T. CMU seems has comparative advantage in these fields but I guess a MFin curriculum is also enough as I am not interested in quant.
I would appreciate if anyone can help me to get out of this dilemma.
