MSF - WUSTL vs ASU
Gooday chiefs,
Hope you all are doing well in these troubled times.
I have received MSF admits from ASU (WP Carey) and WUSTL (Olin) for the 2020 intake (No idea when it will start given the current situation). (Awaiting decision from Simon)
The ASU program is a 1 year course with STEM designation. For WUSTL I have the Asset Management track for 18 months, which isn't STEM.
I'm an Indian student with 2 yrs of big4-IB. I am looking to break in to HF industry post my program.
From what i understand WUSTL course is very highly rated. Also, it is relatively closer to the east coast and Chicago. However the STEM designation of ASU program allows me to have 24 months OPT visa extension, in addition to the 12 months allowed for non-stem masters.
Keeping the above facts in mind, would you guys recommend choosing the relatively okay-ish STEM ASU course or going for the highly-rated non-STEM WUSTL course?
Thank you for your help and take care.
While anything is possible from anywhere, I'm not sure what the typical trajectory is from those schools....esp for HF
Did you apply to Georgetown or MIT?
I didn't apply to georgetown. I didn't feel like i could get into MIT.
I think WUSTL OLIN is superior to ASU.....but tbh I know nothing about either of those schools
I live in Arizona and I wouldn’t go to ASU’s master in finance program. Arizona is a dead spot for business since there’s like no headquarters here and 99% jobs are going to be operations, call center, or sales based. I’ve met 3 people with a MSF from there and they were at call center roles with brokers. don’t do it
also the fact that they don't put out an employment report and Olin does should tell you more about the quality of the programs
