COMPARE University of California, Los Angeles MFE vs Rutgers University MQF vs Georgia Institute of Technology MSQCF

[dhrjsimha]

Hi all,

I'm interested in pursuing a career in finance that involves machine learning like quant trading and quant asset management. I know such roles would require a Ph.D. and I'm hoping to pursue one...contingent on circumstances.

Which of these programs would be a good start for such a career? I know Tech has great CS and Math depts.

Also, it'd be great if someone could shed some light on the importance of proximity to a financial hub and program brand in the industry (Rutgers and UCLA respectively)

Thank you
