COMPARE difficult choice: Umich MFE or Gatech QCF

[Yolanda]

I've got ADs from these two programs, which I think are in the same tier but not among the top.
I have to send my deposit to umich in next week if i decided to head for there. I'm not sure which program is better, especially based on the factor of placement. Any advice among these two would be useful. Thanks!

hope for some replies~~~~

Would be helpful if we know about the job placement data there to help you. Judging from the lack of response, it's not the case.
As far as information availability is concerned, they are the two blackholes in the middle of the country.

I choose UM b/c I think it offers better job prospects due to proximity to Chicago, GeorgiaTech $16K cheaper though. Unfortunately, the review of GeorgiaTech is not very detailed.

This might help you too (I got the feeling this is the student who provided the review of UM): A Student's-Eye View of the University of Michigan's MFE Program

This blog is pretty good. I wish there'd be more posts like these about schools that are not well known or are not in the the NY/Chi area.

A lot of those schools lack non-immigrant students. And typically non-native English speakers avoid writing English blogs.

arent you contradicting yourself in the statement??

arent you contradicting yourself in the statement?? They lack non immigrant students == lot of american students == lot of native english speakers == more info on blog????

lack non-immigrant students= small # of native English speakers....

got it thnx. but i am still not sure if tht is the reason as even most of the tier 1 courses have majority of international students.
