[quote="tringuyen0243"]Simons is better than UIUC unless you plan to live only in chicago


Thank you for your reply. I am leaning towards UIUC because i have already worked in Chicago for 4 months and know a couple of people there. Also, it will be easier to network form UIUC since its 2.5 hrs from downtown Chicago as against Simon which is 8 hours from NYC. Kindly recommend given my background what will be better. Also, I am waiting for the official admission letter from UIUC (currently they have intimated me via email) to see if i have been given any scholarship. Siomon has given me a 30% scholarship.

Best,
Vinayak

Hey,

I got into both UIUC (MSF) and Simon (MSF). I have to decide urgently between the two universities. Can anyone please guide me?
