Hi all. I really need some opinions on this before I make my decision next month.

First of all, I am international student seeking to work in the states after my graduate school. Preferably in the IB, ER or consulting. I have approximately one year working experience as buy-side equity research before going for my masters. Money is a minor concern because I most probably will be taking loan from Prodigy Finance.

These are the schools which I need help in comparing.
1. Southern Methodist University MSF
2. University of Rochester MSF (60% scholarship)
3. Duke University MQM Finance Track (Still awaiting for the result on Decemember)

Really appreciate it.

I work at a bank with some MSF grads of both SMU and Rochester and all of them are in back office roles. If you are ok with working in something like Operations or Compliance at an IB they will place well. Look up Duke MQM students on LinkedIn and see what they are doing. Recommend #3 if you get in or just staying in your ER role.


That's tough. Because I don't see any career progression opportunity in my company so I prefer not to stay and I did my degree from an unknown university which none of the companies in my country have heard of. So I'm trying to get a masters to get myself a better opportunity.

I have gotten in #3. Most probably will be going #3.
