COMPARE USC MSMF vs UCLA MFE

Hey Quantnet,

I'm facing a dilemma. I am currently enrolled in USC's MSMF program and I just got accepted into UCLA's MFE program. If you have any advice on the matter, please comment.

My main concern is job placement since I only have three months to find a job in America because I'm an international student. I've heard from USC's coordinator that everyone has a job or is accepted into a PhD program within 6 months of graduation, but I'm wondering if UCLA would be able to get me a job faster. With UCLA, their average years of experience is 4 yrs; however, I have none. I have an internship this semester with Union Bank, but I'll lose it if I choose UCLA.

PLEASE HELP =(

Thanks you!!
 
NO school is going to "get" you a job so stop that line of thinking.
 
Yes, I really do need to get rid of that line of thinking. I meant to say I wonder if coming out of Anderson would give me more opportunities.
