Rochester MSF v. WashU MSFQ

[SChen]

Hello everyone,

I am currently in a unresolved situation and desperately seeking for advice from people with better understanding about these programs than I do.

I want to work in either capital market research, or asset management, or investment banking, and have applied to Master in Finance programs at Washington University in St. Louis (Olin), University of Rochester (Simon), and USC Marshall.

I have been accepted into both Olin (MSFQ) and Simon (MSF), and pending admission decision at Marshall (MSF).

In case USC doesn't come through, which program should I choose? Olin or Simon?

Thank you!

You will unlikely to get useful input on these as most people here apply to quantitative programs, not generic finance programs.
My feeling is that generic MFin programs have little appeal in the job market these days.
Your question is eerily similar to this a decade ago.
