COMPARE Georgia Tech QCF vs NCSU Financial Mathematics

[barbosa]

Hello everyone,
So far, I've been accepted to both programs and I am having some trouble making up my mind.
I would like to hear other opinions regarding these 2 programs.


My Background:
- Computer Engineer from a tier 1 University in Brazil
- 3 years work experience as a software developer at an Electronic Trading Team (developing a proprietary Order Management System)
- Basic Knowledge in Data Mining

Objectives:
- Looking for trading roles. Quant developer also a possibility
- Looking to move away from IT role

Thanks in advance!

Hi, I'm facing the same dilemma of choosing GIT QCF or NCSU MFM, which one did you choose in the end? Thanks a lot.

Speculatively I'd say G-tech due to prestige. But then again, I'm just a stranger on the internet.
