USC MBA vs Clarement MFE for trading
I was wondering if anyone who works as a professional trader could advise me on which route to take to get a shot at a trading desk. I don't really care where as long as it has a good training program and will help me advance my career. I have been admitted to both USC for the MBA program and Claremont Graduate University MFE Program. I know they aren't very prestigious as top tier schools but even with my 740 GMAT, my undergraduate grades --2.5 GPA in History -- precluded me from the top tiers. My work experience consists of entirely financial sales as a sales rep then branch manager.
Out of the two options i suggest go for USC.While MFE looks good for trading but Claremont is a crappy school.I am pursuing MSc Finance with a concentration in FE from a non target and there are students in my batch who transferred from claremont to my school.Better brand is the way to go..
IMHO, in this case Marshall MBA is better for its vast network on the west side. Don't know anything about MFE from claremont though, but i doubt it has a bigger alum base than USC.
Not going to lie Claremont MFE is a very good program. People who know about it respect it very much. Give it a second look especially if you know you want to do investing.
