UCLA MFE or Rutgers MQF

Hey guys!

Got admitted into these programs. I'm legit confused.

UCLA MFE:

UCLA MFE is associated with UCLA MBA's 'Anderson' name. Hence has a reputation. But the MFE program doesn't share strong career services with that of the MBA program. You're pretty much on your own. On speaking with a recent UCLA MFE, I came to know that many people had moved from West to East coast after the completion of the course to be able to find a job since West coast wasn't working out. Since many companies refuse to interview you cuz you're far and they will have to reimburse you with everything. NYC proximity gives you a higher chance of face to face interview without any hassles. Excellent faculty. Beautiful campus. Costs a bomb.

Rutgers MQF:

Not that strong of a brand name but half hour from wall street. People majorly get into big investment banks. May not be an ideal role, but they have a chance. the advantage is here its 1.5 years course can be extended to 2 years in case you don't find a job, you will have an extra few months before your visa gets out of status. Much cheaper. Faculty is moderate. Decent career services.

Any suggestions on something in missed is highly appreciated. It would really help me make an informed decision.

Thanks!!
