UChicago Stats Masters for Hedge Funds?

Howdy. Just got accepted to UChicago's master's program in stats, and I'm wondering if anyone has any information on how (or even if) this program or a program like it is perceived in the hedge fund/ trading industries. Would I be able to get work at a quant fund out of a program like this? For reference I'm coming straight in from undergrad at a non target where I studied math and econ.

Thanks
