Hi guys,
I have been admitted to both GWU (Master of Science in Finance), and UMD Smith school (Master of Quantitative Finance, a newer program built upon existing UMD Master of Finance program).
GWU: 48 credits, $2145 per credit, 25% scholarship
UMD: 36 credits, $2115 per credit, $5000 scholarship
Tuition-wise after the scholarships, both schools would be indifferent to me, but living cost around GWU would be around twice that of UMD, esp. housing.
I am an international student, and hoping to find a job as soon as possible, including part-time job, internship, and full-time job. Classes at GWU are usually held in the evening, and only a few days a week, while at UMD classes are held in the morning and afternoon.
Any input is highly appreciated, esp. with regards to the job prospects for an international student.
Thank you!
