Hello guys! I am an international student applying for 24 Fall master's programs. I have received these admissions. I wonder which program is better for me if I want to build my quant career in the US after graduation.

here are the pros and cons I have summarized for now:

NCSU:

pros: great employment rate and salary; small cohort; moderate tuition (around $61000);

cons: university ranking;

UW:

pros: university ranking and reputation; comparatively cheap tuition (around $45000);

cons: placement data;

UIUC:

pros: curriculum arrangement (including internship project); university reputation;

cons: placement data; comparatively expensive tuition (around $78000);

please help! any suggestion will be appreciated!
