Villanova MSF vs Tulane MNRG

So I've got a tough decision to make and was hoping some of you could weigh in.

I've just recently gotten into both Villanova's MSF and Tulane's new MNRG programs. Both are great and I feel lucky to have acceptances.

My background:

I'm graduating a year early and have only had one internship which was outside of finance the summer between my second and final, 3rd year. Both programs start in the summer and wouldn't leave much time for more experience (Villanova starts about a week or so after graduation). I have a decent GPA and solid gmat score from an SEC school, but would have a very hard time with recruiting if I finished my 4 years here.

I understand that these types of master programs are regional and that should be the first concern, but I can easily see myself living and working in either environment. My main consideration is which one will be most likely to set me up for gainful employment after graduation. Can anyone speak to what recruiting will look like for MNRG graduates? I have read previously that there has been some difficulty for MSF students with OCR and was wondering if this has been addressed publicly in any fashion. Villanova is a great program and its hard to take such a leap of faith on a new program, even if it is with Tulane.

I'm just looking for any information that might help me make a decision either way.

Thanks all

 

Depends ...if you want to work in energy then Tulane, if you don't then Nova. I know the guy running the MNRG he does have deep industry connections.

However like kimbo suggested think about being first. I bet most of the people who bought the iPad 1 wish they had waited to get the iPad 2. Do you want to be a guinea pig?

Wherever you go network, network, get 3.5+, then network
