Seeking Guidance: Best Colleges for Quant Finance

[Kritin]

I’m considering several colleges, including Baruch College, University of Michigan, Georgia Institute of Technology, University of California, Berkeley, National University of Singapore, and a few others in the US, as well as Imperial College in the UK. I’m struggling to rank my preferences based on job opportunities, particularly in the hedge fund sector. When should I prioritize Imperial College in this context, and how does it compare to the others for my career goals? Any guidance on how to rank these schools would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

In this context, you are only asking for input on the US programs.
Select programs that have a proven track record with job placement.
Select programs in the geographic locations you like to live and work.
Select the programs that place graduates in the job profiles that match your preference.
Apply to programs that you have a realistic chance.
I believe we have enough data from the Tracker, the program profile pages as well as the alumni network who applied and enrolled at all programs here.
Use LinkedIn and the official site to get any missing info.

I suspect this research phase should take a few months to get where you want to be.
