Brandeis MSF or Babson MSF

Hello guys!

I got accepted to Babson and Brandeis for their MSF programs and I am very unsure of which school to pick. I would really appreciate some advice.

-Babson: brand new program (1st year), 10 months, does not offer an internship, STEM, $$ -Brandeis: 16 months, summer internship, #6 in FT ranking, STEM, $$$

I am looking to be in Boston or NY after I graduate.

Thank you :)

Hey man, I'm a graduating senior and I'm taking a gap year for more exp, but I've been looking into programs (MSF, MFE, Financial mathematics, MSM, etc). According to the Grad school expert TNA, get Brandeis off the list. Not sure about Babson. Don't know much about them. Search TNA and get his opinion.

Persistency is Key
 

I think Brandeis would be better given its ranking, placement and program establishment. And in case you can't find a job after the program, Brandeis has better name Overseas I think.

Both are going to be about the same regarding international placements. I might give the edge to Brandeis as Babson's program is pretty new. Both will have their fair share of alumni in Boston working in finance.

Both would be below Boston College though when it comes to placements/brand.
