Ibm, Fallen's correct in that I can provide some more specifics. I studied finance as an undergrad at Tulane and later went back for my MFin at TU. I'm familiar with Maryland's reputation on Wall Street as well. You'll probably run into more people from Tulane than Maryland on the street simply due to the strength of TU specifically in finance but also the number of New Yorkers that go to Tulane. As Fallen mentioned, Financial Times ranked Tulane 10th in the world for finance in '08. Their finance department is much more highly regarded than the school as a whole (which still has a good reputation.) I think Maryland might be the better overall business school but Tulane is stronger in finance. This partly due to the fact that Tulane really lacks any strength in marketing in my opinion. They are also becoming very well known for entrepreneurial studies as well, as is the city of New Orleans itself.

I'm glad you mentioned that you were a Chinese student. One thing about Tulane is that there is a very large number of international, particularly Chinese, students who go to TU for their MBA/MFin. So that may make you feel more comfortable there.

I worked for Morgan Stanley before going back to get my MFin and now I work for a boutique firm located down in New Orleans.

One thing to realize is that neither UMD or TU will be able to help get you a full time position if you cannot secure some sort of work Visa, ect. for when you graduate. I know a lot of people from overseas that had problems initially. The US is really restricting giving those out. Just making you aware in case you weren't already. That being said though. There are opportunities in New Orleans to do internships while studying but I don't recommend it. It's a full time program. I don't know how Maryland's works.

Tulane recruits very well in Dallas (bulge brackets like JP and MS among others have offices there), Houston, North Carolina (where tons of banks are), Chicago, Boston (to a certain extent), and New York (though it's a tough market there for everyone.)

I highly recommend taking at least one class in energy trading, Burkenroad equity research program, and Darwin Fenner (where you manage part of Tulane's endowment.)

If you are looking to get into trading, Tulane is clearly the winner. Maryland's a great school for business too but Tulane has spent a ton on its trading coursework and keeps adding new trading classes.

One thing you'll find at Tulane is that professors were often practitioners before going into academia. So your financial modeling professor will have worked for the Fed. Your fixed income analytics professor will have structured derivatives for Goldman or JP. Your other professors were energy, power market, Forex traders all before they decided to teach.

Best of luck. And please post any specific questions you can think of and I'll post back as soon as I can. I have weird office hours. Best of luck! Maryland and Tulane are very good options to have!
