Cornell MFE or LSE Msc Fin & Econ?

[Youlan Dai]

Which one is better?

For LSE: top institutions for Econ and Finance, London, kind of writing and reading intensive, tuition is OK
For Cornell MFE: IVY, #7 quant program, New York, affordable, although Cornell is roughly $40,000 more expensive than LSE
Career goal: equity research/macro analysis or forecasting/the ability to do independent market research
Expected Places: NY,London,Shanghai etc

Well if I get Columbia's MFE, I would definitely choose this one(though it's also an expensive one-year program with bad career service and fierce competition with other Columbia, NYU, Cornell candidates...) But now I would like to make a choice between these two otherwise I can't sleep well.

Thank U for your advice.

Thanks for your prompt reply. Wow, I often check the Tracker and your BG left a impression on me. So you are a master in Math at Cambridge and is now pursuing a second master degree in terms of Quant Finance?

The courses of Cornell is more focused on quantitative finance. As for your career goal, LSE is more suitable for you!

Just not sure whether international students can land jobs in the UK

They can. Works similarly to the US. You have to find a company willing to sponsor you for a some tiered visa system which is equivalent to H1B.
