MIT MFIN Vs.HEC MiM
Hello fellow monkeys!
I am here today to seek your advice.
I have been admitted to both the MIT Master in Finance and HEC Master in management programs and I would like to take your opinion on which to choose.
MIT is a better brand name but, due to the global situation, I feel that it would be pretty difficult for an international student to get a job/internship opportunity in the US. I also don't think it is a good time to invest north of $140 K. On the other hand, the Master in Management at HEC would allow me to do a specialization in finance (1st year=general knowledge, 2nd year=specialization) at a relatively lower cost ( more or less $ 40k per year). What to you think? Is the MFIN really this more valuable? (I petitioned for a deferral but it was rejected unfortunately).
N.B: I have studied engineering at the undergraduate level and just graduated a couple of months ago.
Thank you in advance!
Congrats on the admit! Sorry I won't be able to help you, but do you mind sharing your stats (GMAT,gpa, etc)? Thanks!!!
Thanks!
I have a 3.54 GPA (4.0 if you only count the last two years) and a 326 GRE with an internship at a pretty good European private bank.
it’s simple, better brand and education at MIT. easier to network in NYC as well and Boston if you wanna do asset management. no contest
Thank you for your answer. I think the same way to be honest but, while evaluating the two options, I realized that the global situation makes it very difficult to afford an education in the U.S (almost impossible to get a student loan and, even if it was, I don't think that now is the best time to have a debt). Also, the courses will start in July in an online format (which is very understandable given the situation). This in itself defeats the purpose of a top U.S program such as this one since it will make networking much harder. Do you think that despite all these limitations, the MFIN is still a better option?
Thank you for your help!
