问大家一下U of illinois-Urbana&U of Maryland~

Autumnanna

我想知道u of illinois&u of Maryland是不是focus在tech方面呢？如果我想做finance方面的consulting工作，是不是不要考虑这两所学校？

新人，汗。。。我只知道一些耳熟能详的finance学校NYU,Columbia，大家有没有其他10-30的学校推荐呢？最好是不要很牛的quantitative能力的，本科没有太多高数背景，仅自学过微积分。。。。不想去那种课程表里排满了统计，微积分的学校。。。

感谢感谢~~~

UMaryland (top 30) is much better the UIL (top 50 ?) in terms of B-school reputation and location,but not a finance shool as you're already aware.

All top 10 schools have strong finance departments, especially Wharton, Columbia, Chicago and MIT. NYU (top 15 or top 10) is great in finance as you know.

UCLA (top 15 or top 10) is pretty strong in finance, Cornell (top 15) is strong in investment management, Caneige Mellon (top 20) is very strong in quantatitive finance, and Rochester (top 30) is a strong finance school as well.

But do not HATE numbers if you want to be a finance professional...

我考虑maryland是因为地理位置还不错，排名也还好，学费也比同类的要低些吧。。。我看的排名上illinois和maryland差不多阿，不记得是哪个排名了。。。。

请问 M&A advisory属于finance一类的吗？如果选择 M&A advisory那有哪些学校可以选择呢？

我也不是hate number，我现在的工作就是天天对着一堆数字。。。只是听我从国外读finance master的同学回来说简直就是天天在学数学。。。一堆数据模型，而且她觉得回来工作中用到的很少。。。所以我不想读那种每天做高等数学分析的，我看Caneige Mellon的网站好像就是这样的吧

我对这些领域都没有过多接触，问的问题可能有些不妥，再次谢谢前辈~

I am not a finance guy, actually I am from engineering, but to my understanding, M&A advisory belongs to consulting or investment banking, definitely a finance job. Again, choose any top 10 to 15 school, or any school strong in finance.

MS in finance is different from MBAs, the former focuses on quantitative part while the latter focuses on qualitative and strategy finance. Assume you were an American, an U.S. top MBA could get you an investment banker job in which you would work in the front line of banking and help your clients raise money through IPO, corporate bond or complete M&A; while an MS in finance would mostly help you land a job in the quant or risk management department of banking in which you would build (normally PhDs from math or statistics build models) or run various financial models. So they provide different career paths, though I have no comments on which path is better.

Again, I am an engineer; there must be many real finance guys and girls here to give you more reasonable answers.

UMD ranks higher than UIUC in B-week's ranking, sorry for under-estimating UIUC

Overall UIUC, a big-ten school, is a better university, especially in engineering; but UMD's proximity to Washington DC provides their MBAs an unmatchable advantage over UIUC.

不好意思的再问一句，maryland地理位置究竟好在哪里？感觉他的校区不在一个繁华的城市？我就是一直听人说他的地理位置还不错

UIUC也不是在大城市，我比较喜欢UIUC，因为自己是Engineering背景的，在工程上，这个学校前三，五名。
