[KiwiEngineer]

Any reasons as to why Columbia and UChicago seem to be ahead of NYU for the people who voted?

Columbia MAFN, because Columbia is a very good name with great placement rates and alumni network.

In NY, the competition is very high, CMU Baruch Columbia NYU Cornell, whereas no one is there in Chicago except UChicago.

Seeing the list above, I had the following ranking:
(Columbia MAFN >= Chicago MSFM) > NYU MFE

Do you think that Columbia being twice the price of NYU is still worth it in the long run? I can pay both, but it's just a question of whether I will be throwing money out the window by going to Columbia (120k for 1.5 years at Columbia vs 63k for 2 years at NYU for reference)

If you can pay, and you have the admit from a top ranked program, the what’s stopping you?

If you were not getting any student loans and you were unable to fund Columbia MAFN, then NYU no doubt.

But if you can pay 120k then go with the best program you are admitted to.

 

[KiwiEngineer]

Fair I guess, hopefully that 60k difference is due to more than just having Columbia on your resume.

People who voted for Chicago/NYU what was your reasoning?
