I recently got accepted into NYU MFE, so for now, I’m leaning toward that while I wait for further decisions.

As for UIUC vs. BU, I personally think UIUC is the stronger program. It has better employment statistics, and its curriculum offers concentrations that align more closely with my interest. Additionally, its multiple industry partnerships also translated to opportunities to work on practicum projects. So, I would suggest UIUC as the better option.

Hope that helps
