USC MARSHALL ms FINANCE OR UVA MS COMMERCE (FINANCIAL SERVICES TRACK)

HELLO EXPERTS/HELPERS!

I have an admit from USC MARSHALL master in finance and MS. commerce(financial serivces track) at UVA.
I am very very confused as to which to take.
Consider the following please:
(1) I do not care about working in LA vs Easy coast. I care about the higher probability of landing a good job after graduation.
(2)given number (1). In the event that go to UVA, is it really hard to land a job in CALI?
(3) my biggest concern is that the USC's master in finance is new and I have not been able to see their graduates landing stellar jobs.
(4) finally i understand the Marshall brand in LA; but is it worth giving up UVA 's minter for MARSHALL?

thank you so so much guys!

 

I would choose UVA because of its proximity to NYC and stronger ties with Wall Street than USC's.

is it really as accessible as they make it sound like to go from UVA to wall street? (I've seen many people from ova with a bachelor end up there; but don't know about the master students)

 

Accessible relatively. Obviously not as beneficial as going to Stern, but still better than being in the West Coast.

Well, you're seen more positively on the Street and you have access to similar opportunities as an undergrad.
