I wander to know which program is a better choice. If someone know further information about any of these two programs, please share it here. Thx.
 
'UW vs.UIUC' was merged into this thread.
Hello folks, I have been admitted into the two programs. My current major is mathematics, so I am not really sure which field of quantitative finance I am really interested in. I heard that UW's is more focusing on Asset Management while UIUC's is focusing on Trading and Pricing. It's true that UW's has higher ranking, but UIUC is close to Chicago and has more financial job opportunities. I am looking forward to any kind of advice, thank you so much!!!!
