Columbia Business School MSAFA program reputation on the street
I was recently accepted into CBS's MS in Accounting and Fundamental Analysis (MSAFA) program for fall '24. It's a great program on paper thanks to very competitive class size (~40) and combines accounting PhD and MBA coursework. However, since US sell-side FO recruiting takes place almost exclusively at undergrad and MBA (and summer '25 at BBs pretty much already wrapped atp), I am concerned with the program's career prospects in the US (I am a foreigner).
Hence I am wondering how the MSAFA program is generally perceived on Wall Street. Specifically, potential prospect in equity research / LO equity fund roles, and whether AM/HF shops that recruit at CBS for MBAs would give any consideration for MSAFA candidates given the program's strong emphasis on value investing.
Any insight will be greatly appreciated!

What was your gpa and work ex . And your undergrad major
Truthfully, I think the only education firms care about is what undergrad you went to and then for graduate programs, just MBAs and what business school you went to. Apart from your bachelors degree and MBA, they just want to see what work experience you have.
