UVA vs. USC vs. Vanderbilt

Hi everyone,

I need your help making a decision.
Goal: working in investment banking or PE
Options: UVA ms commerce, Vanderbilt ms Finance, USC ms finance.

which do you think is the best choice?

Thank you!

ps. I ended up not attending grad school this year, and applied for the entry of 2016.

 

IMO, it's a toss up. UVA is amazing and the two tracks allow a wide type of top placements. Vandy will get you there as well. Check out both and see which one you like the best. You're not going to go wrong with either choice.
