I guess another point worth noting is that while CMUs program is very targeted at the finance industry, Stanford keeps the door open for a switch to data science or something of the sort at any point of time (perhaps in the unlikely scenario that it becomes a necessity). Many alums from Stanford are working in the Silicon Valley right now, which possibly addresses [USER=33957]@Onegin[/USER] 's observation of not having met many on the east coast (lower numbers).  This is also evident from their incoming class profile where they value a strong mathematics background more than having financial exposure. The MCF curriculum includes a breadth of data science electives which must be completed.

This is not to take anything away from the fact that it does allow for one to get into finance completely by appropriately altering the flexible curriculum.
