Hi Everyone,
Accepted into UCLA and UIUC MFE programs. Graduating May '20: BS Computer Engineering (UIUC). California native. Worked at Facebook two summers, QualComm one summer. Right now, interested in starting as analyst at Hedge Fund after MFE. So broad view of financial engineering seems way to go.
UCLA higher ranked? curriculum seems to be great broad view.
Don't want to rule out trading though..
UIUC seems to be great trading education. Sounds like a lot more algo trading exposure? AI, Machine Learning and Deep Learning would be from a top 5 CS school.
Also, lot of trading companies in Chicago looking for UIUC for grads.

Anyones take on better choice to keep my options open? Thanks!
