哥大水专业 VS Fordham MSQF

starry0731

背景：中财 财政学本科 无任何数理背景
计划回国 （预计1.5年毕业，0.5年实习就业等，也就是2015年回国就业）从事金融行业等。

主要顾虑如下：
1、F家回国的话，会不会直接简历都过不了？
2、CU的TC下面的话，会不会简历过不了？
3、F的课程难度对纯文科来说有点大，但是这不是重点啦
4、CU去了能转专业吗？
5、F的这个项目质量很高，同学们都是巨牛的，CU的项目就是各种水了,但是资源多。

大家多多给意见吧！

Hi there! Yes, I am the co-founder of Admissionado. I’m so glad to hear that we provided you with useful information!To address your concern here, I’ve emphasized many times that there is no single program or school that can guarantee getting a job oran H1B visa. If I remember correctly, you’re planning on returning to China after graduation. This is an important distinction because different career plans require different support and resources. The discussion we had was based largely on your career plan. In terms of going into business, your major is both Econ and Business related. In addition, you will have full access to Columbia’s career services, some of the best in the world. The door to the business world is definitely wide open. However, just like if you were to study finance at Wharton, no one can guarantee you’ll get a great job that you love. Absolute certainty and security just don’t exist in today’s ever-changing job market. When it comes to school selection, it’s all about your future career plan and which school will give you the most resources and support in achieving your goals. Thanks!

Hey, Frank. Do you come from Admissioando? I have gotten some useful information from Admissioando. Thank you so much! You said I could look for jobs in commercial banks, investment firms, or research companies. But I searched the CVs of the graduates from Economics and Education on LinkedIn and did not find everyone who go into the business area and get H1B visa.  Why did you say that graduates from TC can directly go into business area. Looking forward to your reply!

Your concern is reasonable, but this is true about every school these days. There are more and more international students applying and enrollingin American schools, but that’s not how you value a school and decide whether it’s worth going to or not. Columbia is still one of the best schools in the States with a top education and alumni network. There really is no comparison between Columbia and Fordham, especially in the perception of people around the world. Ten out of ten people will say that Columbia is the superior university. Imagine you are a hiring manager, and two candidates present themselves, one from Fordham and one from Columbia. Who would you give the interview to? Both people in the U.S. and China would agree: Columbia is the way to go. Hope this helps!

I’m happy to answer a follow-up!What’s great about TC is that it uses the same career services system as the others schools within Columbia, which is a huge benefit. Since your major is Economics and Education, you’ll be looking for jobs in the economic departments of banks, investment firms, or research companies. On the other hand, if you want to pursue an academic career path, you can also further your study with a PhD degree and apply for jobs at universities. Let me know if you have any more questions!

I was wondering that are you sure that columbia's reputation in china is good? I am terribly worried about its reputation because it enrolled too many students compared with others. I am afraid that reputation couldnot compete with other top10 or 20 universities.
