URGENTLY NEED SOME ADVICE !!
Can anyone give advice on choosing among these two program? I want to get a job in quantitative finance after finishing the program. Thanks a lot!
 
The UCB Fintech program, based on the syllabus, seems like a Data Science program.
Will be quite good if you want to get into risk modeling, etc.

You should talk to the alumni of both programs to get a better idea of where the graduates work in general.
But if I were you, I would choose Columbia Financial Mathematics. (New York + alumni working in Quant finance)

It would be nice if people could explain the rationale behind their vote as I am stuck in a similar position. However, I am open to both data science and quantitative finance role.
