UCSD or UCL for Masters in Finance
I am currently an undergrad at UCSD and have been admitted to UCSD Masters in Quantitative Finance and UCL masters in Finance. I've got a wealth management internship so far and an MNA Search fund. The issue is UCSD gave me a full ride whereas UCL will be 40-50k at least including rent and groceries. At UCSD I can live at home and practically save everything without going into debt. I also know UCL is much more of a target. I am not sure what to choose.
I live and work in London, so I am slightly biased, UCL is definitely much more recognizable brand than USCD. If you are American and would like to explore the other side of the pond, than go for it. UCL Mfin is nowhere close to Oxford MFE, LBS or LSE but you would definitely be able to land a couple of first rounds
Tbh for masters UCL isn’t really a good target like it is at undergrad. Oxford, LBS, LSE are basically the only targets at MSc level. However, having the UCL brand on your CV is definitely much better than UCSD. If you have the money and want to work in the UK, go for it. If not and you would have to take a large loan - I’d only really recommend that for Ox, LSE, LBS
