WUSTL MSF （Q-Track）vs Imperial College RM and FE

yanggeferry

再一次纠结了！！！上次发了贴，在NUS，UIUC里面选了WUSTL，前段时间来了Imperial College的risk management &Financial Engineering 的offer。我已经把定金献给了WUSTL，IC也催我要决定了，也就是这两周的事情。这次学校水平更接近，也更难抉择啊~ IC宗排很高，world ranking也在top 10样子， WUSTL就跑到40名开外了，而且在国内没什么名气。

我的选择标准主要有三个，按照重要程度排列 1）找到工作的概率 2）学校排名及回国的知名度 3）性价比

首先，我认为自己还是想在国外工作几年再回去的，WUSTL地理位置有点吃亏，IC虽然在伦敦但最新的签证政策似乎限制了大家找工作，听说毕业2,3个月后没有公司给你办工作签证就必须回国了，这是我最担心的一点。希望那些比较了解这方面情况的同志们多多给些建议啊！我谢谢大家了！

其次，IC似乎在国内都听过，实在不行回国找工作觉得也是有机会的。相比WUSTL回来的话感觉有点吃亏，没怎么听过，不知道以前的校友在国内发展的怎么样。排名的话自然是IC领先了，但是不知道对排名是否需要很看重呢？真的是相当迷茫啊~

最后，IC的学费要低的多，虽然微涨，但比起WUSTL的涨幅要小很多，WUSTL的学费1.5年下来要贵50%样子，但是伦敦的生活费貌似要高一截，但1.5年在美国的生活费也差不多了，所以差异主要在学费上。如果最后就业情况相似，我觉得IC的性价比更高。

同拿到IC的RMFE啊，LZ能拿到WUSTL的MSF很厉害！！之前咨询过小秘，得到的回复是：Looking back at the 2007-11 cohorts，45% of graduates secured jobs in the UK, 30% in Asia and 18% in Europe，也问了在IC读MSF的学姐，回信是:From my experience in hunting for a job, what I can say is that IC has a really good repution. The career development department of Imperial Business School is really good. They helped me a lot in getting an offer. I know the ones of Finance that did their best to look for a job have gotten an offer at least. The ones that haven't gotten anything not because of Imperial. It is just because they did not try their best. I can't say that you will get a job if you come to IC. You know none of the universities can say that. But IC will definitely gives your advantages especially if you want to look for a job abroad.

回国的话，去哪里就业比较好呢，HK还是Shanghai, 金工这块国内券商和银行感觉用的少啊，最后是不是还得往外资投行发展

IC的商学院确实还是比较给力的，听说来学校招聘的大公司也不少，但不知道现在的政策会不会影响就业。

肯定有挺大的影响吧，IC好像在香港还可以吧

看楼主本科学什么了，如果没学过quant一点的话赶脚读一年研究生就把自己想成做FE的略天真……以及，我感觉纯/偏FE现在就业真心略惨淡……

我本科学的就是Quant Finance的major，还是有一定基础，但比起纯数学的肯定要差一点, 我自己觉得FE对培养数理分析和编程建模肯定有帮助，最后做不做Quant到时不一定，很多读工程，纯科学研究的也进投行了，还是在于自己，应该说路子还是比较广。例如IC就是去做risk analyst 比较多，真的做quant的人很少，sales &trading也是不错的发展路径。
