WUSTL/SMU G MSF vs CUHK MSc Finance

Background: International student with a degree in Econ/Math from a non target university in the US. Open to working anywhere (I realize placement for international kids are extremely tough).

So the deadline for deposits for WUSTL/Singapore Management University's Global MSF and CUHK's MSc Finance are both coming up. I'm only going to pay the deposit for one of the two programs as I wait for more schools to get back to me. I'm just curious as to what everyone thinks! Which one would you pick if you were me?

I've heard that although CUHK is in HK, most HK banks still prefer to recruit from US schools. However, WUSTL isn't a top tier Ivy/Booth/Etc... would WUSTL still turmp CUHK in this case? I feel like WUSTL is relatively unknown outside of the Midwest despite the fact that it's ranked competitively.

Thanks in advance!

 

The WUSTL SMU program is designed ideally for international students. You get a dual degree. WUSTL is a top University in the US. Not am ivy, but top 30 school or so. I don't know too much about the HK school, but I'm sure you're assertion that Hong Kong employers still prefer top US grads.

 

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah I'm just not sure if WUSTL's brand name is enough to trump CUHK outside of the US (specifically in Asia).
