Hi everybody, I have been accepted to both Gatech QCF and Bayes Mathematical Trading & Finance. I find myself undecided between the two programs. GaTech offers surely the better program from a rankings perspective and gives the possibility to obtain the OPT thanks to which I could start working in the States (I am an international). On the other hand, Bayes' course is a lot more centered around trading (which is what I would like to do once graduated), has half the cost and is situated in London which I think is a much better place to live in respect to Atlanta. I have more or less one month to decide, let me know your thoughts!

In my opinion, Job market (US) >>>>>> Job market (UK), for international students.

Banks in the UK may hire international students for an intern or full-time, this never happens in the US. The job market is protected for the students studying in the US.

Plus, I will assume that GaTech is a good university based on the rankings and placements, haven't heard of Bayes.

Go with Goergia Tech!
