Which MSF program would you recommend for someone who went to a non-target undergrad who wants to break into either asset management or equity research? I would prefer to live on the West Coast in the long run, but I am geographically flexible for at least the first 10 years of my career. The biggest factor for me in school choice is the best job placement in my field of interest.

if you want to live on the west coast, go to claremont. they're both excellent schools
Just saying...
West Coast = Claremont. No
West Coast = Claremont. No debate.
If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses - Henry Ford

Simple google search, I find, does the trick
Congrats on both acceptances,
Congrats on both acceptances, both are great schools.
I would definitely go with Claremont for West Coast recruiting. Much stronger network in SF and LA than Villanova.

Novice,
I was hoping to hear from someone who went to the program, since the list doesn't fully answer everything I wanted to know(like for example, did the kids who go there get the jobs as a result of cmc or as a result of their undergrad contacts). No need to be f*cking sarcastic about things.
If you want to work west
If you want to work west coast, go to CMC. I went to nova and am saying this.

Just curious if anyone knows what the maths requirements are for the CMC program. I checked the website but came up empty.

It isn't too quant, but they get a lot of top Paloma students. Program is not for slackers.

You are "supposed" to have done a bunch of calculus courses but i don't think that matters much. Placements are a combo of CMC's network and personal network.
Thanks for the replies. The
Thanks for the replies. The one concern I have with Claremont is that most of their students still do not have jobs or are going to big 4/ops types of positions. It may account for how often CMC updates this, but for the high quality of the students who attend there, it worries me.
Living in California is nice, but its more important that I'm doing front office asset management, equity research, or s&t in that order of preference. I plan on moving back anyway when I start a fund of my own.
