Need Help! Rotman VS Wisconsin MBA in Applied Securities Analysis
HI all
My first post in this forum
I recently got into Rotman F/T MBA and Wisconsin Madison-MBA in Applied Securities Analysis
I am from a hedge fund Admin backgroud (risk middle office ,almost 3 yrs), would like to break into IB/HF.
----I am a Chinese Citzizen+ Canada PR, would it be tough to compete for jobs in US after graduation from Wisconsin?(Chicago would be my target city)
---- In terms of cost, Rotman costs $80,000 for the program, wisconsin cost $ 50,000 and I had a $20,000 Scholoarship+GA
----Rotman has a bigger cohort, Wisconsin ASAP has about 20 ppl and a sound placement record
Would like to get some of your advice on the 2 schools, Many thanks!!
What is Rotman?
U toronto's B-school
I don't know about Rotman, but UW's applied security analysis program is well-respected and does place well.
Oh. I'd go to Wisconsin. It is a reputable school that places very well in Chicago and OK in NYC.
The CEO of the CFA insitute, the Global Head of Equities of UBS Asset Mgmt, and the founder of Adage Capital Mgmt (manages $8 billion, hq in Boston) are all alumni of the UW program.
The Rotman MBA isn't that great- and if you are definitely sure you want to work on the buy-side, the UW is the better program.
Adage has around $27 billion of AUM.
The ASAP is set apart from the rest of UW MBA. I visited there and really liked it. The caliber of students in the program are on par with top 15 MBA students.
The program is really a niche (20 students) and you will def not get proper insight on this – or virtually any – internet forum. Try to reach out to alum and see how they have placed. They talk a great game but make sure you see some hard numbers about placement.
ASAP seems great but you must be 100% sure that you want ER/HF/AM. Otherwise, you are wasting your time.
