Princeton MFin places into associate roles and is much more quant heavy than an MBA. MBA's are great for networking and rebranding. If you know you want to work in finance and dont need to rebrand an MFin is a great way to do it. Only one year of lost wages and a challenging course load.

 

Interesting single data point - there is a guy on QuantNet who applied at MIT and Princeton. Got an interview from Princeton but not from MIT.

Not reading into it, but interesting.

From what I heard, MIT gives offers to applicants with GREAT stats without any interview. They do interview people whom they're not sure about.

Btw, I received Princeton interview but not from MIT.

 

The distinctive feature of Princeton's Master in Finance program is its strong emphasis on financial economics in addition to financial engineering and computational methods. Graduates of our program have a solid understanding of the fundamental quantitative vital in the financial industry. To a greater degree than at any time in the past, there now exists a body of knowledge that is widely agreed to be essential for the proper analysis and management of financial securities, portfolio and the financial decisions of firms.

Ok, I am all for Princeton's MFin program (having written a big article on how to get in and why people should go), but you are resurrecting this and several other three year old threads to argue for Princeton.

But while I can get my plug in, Princeton is the most selective professional business program in the country. More so than HBS or Stanford GSB. There are legitimate reasons to turn down Princeton, but I don't think any of them involve "This other MFE program is waaay better."

Any stats on how many Americans (vs international students) apply every year? (serious question)
