COMPARE UCLA MFE vs Johns Hopkins University FMMSE

[PRC_Quant]

Hey, I am comparing between two offers. I want to know which one should I go to and what the placements have been recently. I personally want to go to JHU as I want to stay in the east coast, but I do not know why JHU's ranking is so unstable. Any advice or info for the program, future career outlook, or workload is highly appreciated!

I am also reviewing college math in preparation for more advanced math. My idea is to review calculus and linear algebra, and then go on to real analysis and differential equation. In the meantime, I want to do probability and mathematical statistics, as well as stochastic processes. After that, I was advised by my professor to learn some topics in measure theory and functional analysis. I think stochastic calculus and SDE should conclude the math skills needed for quant? I also did time series analysis and optimization, but I think they are not that much required in quant (or are they?). Really appreciate any advice for helping me to change my career path.
