Hi, I have looked through online resources but haven’t found any comprehensive rankings for MSF in US based on BB intake. Would anyone list down at least 5 MSF programs which are good for front office IBD (excluding MIT, Princeton because that’s just obvious). Thanks!

Masters of Finance or Masters of Financial Engineering?
Huge difference between the two.
Masters of Finance.
Vandy and UT
Thank you very much for your reply!
MIT and Vandy.
All the other programs aren't that great and only really place well into smaller shops/non-high finance gigs (i.e. UT, BC, USC, Duke, UVA, WashU, Villanova etc)
For Duke, are you referring to their MiM or Masters in Quantitative Financial Economics?
Their MMS program.
My understanding of the quant finance masters landscape is less clear.
