COMPARE UIUC MSFE vs UW-CFRM

[ShreyanshL]

Thoughts on the two programs and the pros and cons of each? I received acceptances from both, waiting on results from other schools but if I had to choose between these two, which one should it be? Looking to go into Algorithmic Trading at prop-trading firms post-graduation.

Can I ask when you got an acceptance decision and when you applied for UW CFRM?
