Master in Finance: WUSTL vs. Claremont McKenna vs. Boston College vs. Villanova

Could you rank these MSF programs? WUSTL vs. Claremont McKenna vs. Boston College vs. Villanova

Goal is to break into investment banking. And where would you put Duke MMS among these? Thanks.

As demtor said it is useless to have this conversation unless you are in at all of them. Each of these schools have their individual and locational advantages like Nova placements in NYC, WUSTL's reputation and solid Midwest placement or CMC's great placement in San Fran.

 

CMC, some say, has the best placement after MIT but it is a small liberal arts school in the West Coast. Do you have any preferences for location, school size etc?

 

Well, İ Am a foreign student so i dont have a location pref. The goal is to end up in bb ibd hopefully. Which program would give me a better career path?
