MSF offers decion in a recession

Hi folks, I got MSF offers from Rochester/Villanova/WUSTL, MMS from Duke. Which would be your choice? Nova and Rochester offered half scholarships and I am still waiting for UT Austin. I did IB internship at a MM in junior summer. 23, male and ultimate goal is IB>PE.

From my review of the various universities on this forum, I would choose WUSTL or Nova as they place well into IB for their MSF program. You would still have to network a lot but it’s doable. I believe it’s possible for you to get into UT as well, but their MSF has only a small amount of people going to IB, and they’re the ones who plan to stay in Texas. It depends on where you want to live in the future as well. Rochester is just close to NY, which is easier to network but it’s not a high amount of students who get into IB, which is why the university you go to and the program matters both play an equal part in securing a future IB offer.

I thought all banking recruiting for Master is depended on individuals especially it's a management studies program

 

A friend I met on this site actually suggested to skip the MSF all long since recruiting in this fall will be very tough.
