MSF: UIUC vs JHU vs UT Austin

Hi guys,

I've been admitted to JHU MSF. Pretty sure will be admitted to UIUC and UT Austin. I'm an international student from Singapore (1-year WE). My main criterion is placement in US in M&A, consulting, or PE. Which univ out of the three (UIUC, JHU, and UT Austin) has the highest chance to land me a job in US?

Much appreciate your insight. Thanks!

UT would be your best shot. PE chances are slim unless you have previous experience in it. M&A consulting at a big four shouldn't be too difficult but MBB would.

 

UT all day for banking/PE. If you're international, that's up to the firm for sponsorship - not really related to the school in any way.
