msc finance imperial or washu st.louis

Placement % is less important than what roles you're interested in. What area of finance do you want

haven't quite decided yet, but probably ibd or credit risk

Hi, I have also been accepted by Imperial..I think the first criteria for deciding should be your goals. Then if you are a Non-EU student, remember that the PSW visa in the UK has been cancelled. However, if I were you I would definitely go for Imperial since it has a far better brand name and the course is well designed.

ive never heard of imperial is that in the uk? i'll be attending washu's msf quant finance in the fall...

yeah imperial is in the uk, one of the top univs there, though there business school is not at par with the likes of lse,warwick.

i agree that imperial has the brand name and prestige, but its not well known for its business school.

pros Imperial: program has a lower cost than the program at washu. potential brand name, have a lot of recruitment events, placement of 93%. ideally placed in central london.

pros Washu: smaller class size. new quant finance track might give you the edge (being a new program). have placed well over the years (97% placement). 1.5 year course, so get more time to look for opportunities and spend summer in the US looking for internships.
