Question about the two programs in Rutgers

[TanMinshi]

Dear all, I am applying the MFE in 2013 fall and I met a problem with the two programs about Rutgers, since it has two programs: master of quantative finance beside New York and Master of mathematical finance at New Brunswick. The two programs have their own advantages and I am not sure which to apply and wish for your help~

Why don´t you apply to both programs? MSMF is more competitive and with more prestige I believe. So it might be a good strategy to apply to MSMF as the best choice and to MQF as a safety. However, if you like the more the MQF program (I don´t know about the professors, but the program looks great), applying just to MQF seems like a good choice.

Just a quick note that there are 3 programs at Rutgers. The third one is Financial Statistics and Risk Management on the location as the Math Finance program.

I am quite interested in programs of Rutgers. So, what's differences among three?
BTW, is the program in U of Washington worth a try? I hear this is quite new n few comments were found here.

Thanks a lot! That is a solution!
