Hi,
I've gotten accepted into the MSCF program at CMU and the MS/Ph.D. Computer Science program at the University of Wisconsin Madison. The MS degree at UWisc is fully funded and I can drop out after just obtaining an MS CS. The degree at CMU costs $86k for a year on the other hand.
As an aside, I've been working at a BB Investment Bank over the last year as a quant and have completed CFA L1. My career goal is to work on the buy side as a quant.
Given these two options and my background, I would like to get more views on the pros and cons of both.
Thanks!
