What do you want to do?

Princeton has certain advantages over UCB: small class size, huge elective pool, top-tier ivy

If you're considering pursuing a PHd in quantitative subject field, finance and such, I would suggest Princeton, as it's program is highly theoritical and is catered to students having such objectives. Otherwise, go for the Berkeley MFE program.

If you are admitted to both programs, congrats!

I second the opinion above: go to the Berkeley MFE if you want to work in industry, if you want to do a PhD down the road, Princeton might be better.

I don't know that much about Princeton, but you will have fun at UCB
