Hi to everyone!
A few days ago, I received offers for the Columbia MSFE, the Berkeley MFE. However, I am totally confused on what to choose from. My thoughts are the following:
1) Berkeley has excellent record placement and at the same time, internship is incorporated in the program. On the other hand, taking into consideration what I have read, career services in Columbia are not good (correct me if I am wrong) and at the same time no internship is incorporated in the program.
2) The program in Berkeley starts in March 2015, something which will give me additional time to become a more prepared candidate.
3) The class size in Berkeley is much smaller than in Columbia, something which enables the interaction between the students and the professors.
However the major concern for picking Berkeley is its location far from NY, something which might prove to be a severe deterrent factor from placing a job (distance, expenses, time).
I would be grateful if you could give me some advice on my concerns. Any further thought is more than welcome of course!
Thank you very much!
