COMPARE UCLA MFE vs Columbia MSOR

[Ahmed Hawas]

Really? sounds great. My professors and my family want me to go to UCLA too.
Have you heard from Columbia yet? I can see they are sending admits everyday , so keep praying

They are very different programs. If you know what you want to do career wise, I don't understand the dilemma. They aim for different directions, so ask yourself if you'd rather choose an career unrelated job in a good city, or a career relevant job in an also decent city. Agreeing with the above statement, school location doesn't limit you to that city.

I hope i understood your point correctly lol since you didn't use program names =.=
MSOR might still get you a "relevant" job, but I guess since the program is less focused than MFE, you'll have a harder time.

Personally I applied to MSOR because my desired job isn't pure quant, so I prefer the MSOR structure.

Any news yet?

Naw, I'm hoping they will be sending it out monday, since I doubt they'll make decisions on a Sunday.

Really hope to hear something.

So you decided to go to UCLA? If you have any questions about anything I can relay them to my friend who just graduated a few month ago from it.
