Singapore Management University MSc

hey guys I wanted your views on SMU’s MSc in Applied Finance and MSc in Quant Finance. I got into both programs but my goal is FO BB in M&A. Do you think that it is a target school in Asia and Singapore specifically? Pls help me decide! tia

Yeah agree with tellmehowtoplay, the local unis are semi-target. No insights on masters though, most of the people I see going to IBD are bachelor's with a preference for SMU kids.
