Poll: Help me decide where to spend ~100k on an MSF!

Accepted

  • NYU MSA - Sticker
  • Georgetown MSF - Sticker
  • Villanova MSF - 2/3 Scholarship 

I honestly don’t know what to do. I think Georgetown is the better pick, but its online nature and the scholarship at Villanova make it a hard choice.

On the other hand, I feel like there is more job security at NYU, with Audit being an easy fallback plan.

Career Goal: IB, Advisory (FDD, Valuation), FPA, and most importantly, not being unemployed!

All programs at sticker, including living costs, will be about 90k-100k.

PS: Didn’t make Vanderbilt so not an option. 

Where should I attend?
