Vandy and it's not even close. Thread closed.
What kind of jobs do SMU grads get? How respected is the school? I can't afford vandy tbh
If you have to ask...
Then take out loans bro. If you want a career in high finance, then your career prospects can’t survive a masters at SMU.
In an effort to save some money now (which I’m not saying is insignificant), don’t fuck up your earnings potential for the rest of your life. SMU grads at the masters level just don’t place well.
Edit : didn't realize you're doing MSF
SMU undergrad alum. Are you talking about undergrad or MSF or MBA or what
MSF
Undergrad would be debatable if you were set in banking in Houston. MSF is not.
As an SMU alum would probably go with Vandy for masters. My personal opinion when I was there was that the post-grad programs weren’t very good. Undergrad is a different story and SMU does well in Houston for banking but I don’t think the post-grad programs (either MSF or MBA) were any good. I can’t fully answer your question though because I don’t know what jobs people are taking after getting a masters from either school. To be honest, do you really need a MSF to go work in Corp finance? $50K is a big price tag to go work in FP&A. I don’t know a ton about these programs but feels like kind of a waste, and the few people from school that I know that did do them were just trying to delay graduation for a year
Graduating Vandy MSF on Sunday so I'm biased but I was accepted into both of these schools and (obviously) chose Vanderbilt because I was able to talk to alums of the program and see their placement. If you want IB, PE, VC or Consulting, I'd choose Vandy hands down. The recruiting here is top notch and we have MSF alums all over the street. The difference in recruiting and outcomes is definitely worth the 20K.
