Hello. I really need your help to decide between these two programs.. I have only the last 2 days to make the choice. Please help me compare these programs based on location, course content and flexibility, job prospects, quality of teaching and reputation on wall street. Thank you.
 
I am in a similar situation.
Everyone seems to say that Gatech/Gatech QCF program has quite a few connections with the energy sector. This could be largely due to the fact that the program director's research interest is electricity derivative pricing.
I don't know anything about UMich's program.
 
If you just go by the ranking of the Universities then UM is one of the best in the world (top 10 on many rankings).
Other then that I don't know the programs.
 
Recent graduates of GATECH in energy: Constoliation, Edison, Dominion Resource, Exelon, Georgia Power, Citi Group
 
Thank you everyone. After much deliberation I have decided to go with Univ of Michigan.. Hope its the right one :)
 
NewHere I don't mean to confuse you but I spoke with 2 seniors of mine who are currently pursuing MFE at UMich. Both of them said that GTech is better than UMich. At least, in terms of placements. Additionally, the course in GTech is more oriented towards programming. So, if you are more interested in the computational area, then probably GTech is better for you. However, according to both the seniors, UMich is equally good as GTech in terms of courses, faculty and brand.
Finally, its your call. Best of luck for any University you decide :).
