U-maryland VS U-minnesota

liubore

both offer some scholarship

maryland: dean's fellowship,cover the first year's tuition+expenses, over $40000

minnesota: full tuition waiver, over $60000

my intended concentration is finance-oriented, plus a little bit marketing

how to choose? Expecting advise from all of you guys. Thanks.

neither of them is traditional finance school...but UMD seems to be better on Street...

liubore

but why? Why UMD?

shanexin

Speaking of finance job, UMD is better

better reputation on the Street

better location next to the DC

better trading lab facility

better student-run fund

but speaking of financial burden and mkting, UMN is better

I have no idea about your finance concentration with a little bit mkting...U'd like to find a mkting job in a finance institution or a media job focusing on finance and business?

liubore

What I mean is financial communication consultancy, to be specific, IPO & M&A transaction communication, investor relationship development

I guess, according to your analysis, UMD is better for financial communication consultancy, right?

shanexin

don't know much about your niche target...UMD's investment management was recognized on the Steet...

liubore

which school is better?

shanexin

I think both are good, but not overwhelmingly better than the other ...probobaly you can refer to the comment on BW or ask alumni...
