考虑到学校brand，项目质量，花费，项目时间

我的排序：Columbia大于Chicago约等于UIUC大于Fordham

Chicago约等于UIUC？！

Agree. Chicago约等于UIUC.

why? I would choose Chicago instead of Columbia if it were me.

做IT也有50%的bonus。。。，肯定是前台吧

NYC的quant fund or prop trading firms 也不少吧

不过感觉去这些地方，跟去IB干quant，是完全不同的路了

gnroses

Students with CSEE background get more benefit from UC because there are so many quant fund or prop trading firms in Chicago, which give extremely good compensation (require hard core programming/math skills at same time). Also The competition is significantly less in Chicago as well. But if you want to do quant in IB, Columbia is probably a better choice. Not sure about MAFN's placement. Know a guy working in my team as IT is from that program though (still good pay, 100K base + 50K sign-in bonus)

Other two programs are not comparable at all. Not sure how other guys get UC=UIUC but that is just bs, not even mention Fordham. Finance may be the industry that discriminate school brand most.

Thanks a lot!
I do not have CS or EE background, just Physics, but I do wish to work in algo trading or prop trading firms. Can I expect there's still a chance for me to look for jobs in both Chicago and New York if I chose Columbia? or there will be a disadvantage compared with UChicago's graduates in Chicago?

还有，如果UChicago出来，去纽约是不是会相对难一点？

听我美国的朋友说，CHICAGO没落了不少。。。。不知道真假。。

CHICAGO确实HEDGE FUND比较多，可是总体NY的机会还是要多不少。。。什么类型的公司都有。。

比BRAND的话。。老实说，我喜欢UC多些。。可能是因为前些多LSE有些研究，懂得UC和LSE是西方经济的鼻祖。。

不过LZ去了美国就会觉得，他们对IVY还是非常痴迷的。基本上IVY+MIT STANFORD就是属于学习好，家里还有点钱的人去的地方。所以里面的学生可能综合实力比较高。UC,UCB，UMICH这类型的学校纯以学校的角度看不会比IVY差，不过学生背景貌似没那么显赫。所以也看LZ是喜欢那种校风。

我没得挑，我只有MAFN。。没报UC的。。没时间考SUB

这个一定是。。。COLUMBIA在NY的优势还是比较明显的。。。如果在NY的话COLUMBIA肯定好过UC。。。但一般UC的就去CHICAGO好了。。不一定非来NY吧。。

IT = BO and won't pay 50k as sign-on unless you are joining as VP or above.

To Morningside，我是对此评论的。。。

前台IT的话，50%bonus还是可能的吧

你们误解这朋友的意思了 他是说如果哥大比芝大有10%优势  那么UIUC比F也有10%的优势
