MSF: Virginia MS in Commerce Finance Track vs WUSTL

I recently was accepted to both of these schools and I was wondering which school has the better overall reputation and would be better for breaking into IB. Thanks!

Both are great. I think UVA has less IB, but that is because they have a management and marketing track which is around 60% of the class. Placements are at all the top banks and boutiques. I'd personally got to UVA, but you wont go wrong with WUSTL either.

 

Iure alias quidem vel necessitatibus. Aliquid dolorum ea quia sed eum ipsa suscipit. Quis aut ut explicabo sit impedit quasi soluta. Quo voluptatibus veritatis eveniet est dolore temporibus aut eos.
