Hello all, sorry for posting yet another comparative topic, but I would like some input.
As you can probably gather from the subject, I have been accepted to Rutgers MQF and Fordham MQF and MBA program. Rutgers would be a solid choice because of the in-state tuition and relatively speaking, it's a quality program that carries a good name. Fordham, on the other hand, has granted me admission to get both an MBA in Finance and MS in Quantitative Finance. Obviously, the price tag is a lot higher, I like the fact that I have an extra degree under my belt in roughly the same amount of time (compared to Rutgers). I know any sort of degree is no substitute for experience so I don't need a speech on that. It's seems as though Fordham and Rutgers are lumped together in the same "tier".
I will say this, after my interview at Fordham, it seems as though they have really changed up their curriculum in regards to what most have complained about (on the interwebs) when it first started.
I realize these are not "top-tier" schools but these are my options. I'd greatly appreciate some input from the most knowledgeable quant board on the net!
