Pace (MSF Investment Management), Fairfield (MSF) or Fordham (MS Global Finance ?

For anyone that has some personal or indirect insight which program would provide the best education/internships/connections for someone who aspires to be a buy-side equity analyst?

 

These programs make sense for people who are local and need a masters for work or maybe if you don't care and simply want a year of study in the US. There isn't going to be great recruiting and you'll probably be in a class with nothing but other Chinese students. That is good or bad depending on what you are looking for.

If I had to choose I'd probably pick Pace.

 
futurectdoc:

None of them, just as in undergrad there are target programs, MIT is the MSF that best opens up the buyside, then Claremont McKenna, WUSTL, Vandy and Nova. On the MiM side your choices are basically UVA and Duke. Did these schools give you a full ride? If not, it isn't worth it.

No I didn't receive a full ride. I know there are better schools to choose from, but those would be impossible to get into given my poor undergrad grades. Plus I want to stay semi-local to home and these are within my range.
