personally i hate greyhound , the only time i entered it smelt so much (might be different now) but yes i understand as a student it good to cut cost .

For me greyhound is for short journeys , maybe if my school was like 5 hours or less bus ride but anything longer than 5 hours on greyhound then i rather fly . If you are still going to TN , then really check the price of local flights from JFK or LGA, it might be $150 or so more expensive than busing , but it quicker and easier for long journeys . Long journey with bus can mean a lot of change change as well , making it stressful

For the orientation, it is every Wednesday and starts by 10 am. But you have to be at the embassy by say 9 am. Tell the security guys that you are going to education for orientation.

Share the list you have so we can see.

Your choice of school for MS Finance depends on what you want to do after graduation (Financial consulting, Private Equity, Investment Banking or trading) and where you want to work (Wall Street, New Jersey, big banks in the South or financial roles in normal companies)

Each school has its specialty in placements. So I'll advise you share the list of schools you have so we can view them.

Thanks

Goodmorning House.

To the elders in the house please i need your advice on something.

So in my school, we are allowed to work outside campus only during summer, it was a new law that was paased by the international admission centre last summer since there are rarely no jobs available during the summer in school. So my fellow Nigerians here who pioneered the move and also enjoyed that benefit last year had been here for more than a year. I got in here in January. Fortunately for me i got a job with a telecomms company for summer internship, now the company said the university must sign the page 2 of my I 20 form and that i must have been in the Usa for atleast one year. The internship department communicated with the Homeland and securities department and they said i must have been here for a year before i can work outside campus but school says international students have the summer to themselves so they can work anywhere. Now i am a bit confused on what to do.

Incase i get another off campus job and they are not willing to pay cash, will the off campus summer pay that reflect in my record affect me when i am filing for my papers? How is it like or done in your respective schools and states?

Thanks

Chidinho10:



To the best of my understanding, your school is referring to people that started in the summer. You need to have stayed at least one year before you are qualified to take summer internships.

Now, I told you to send me list of MS Finance programs you saw and I'm sad you just provided list of universities with some of them not having MS Finance programs. It will be great if you do things in a nice way so that you can get the best form of assistance you need. Let's look at the schools you listed.

UPenn - They don't have a standalone Masters in Finance. The Masters in Finance you saw there is part of their PhD program.

Ohio State - STEM program and relatively low tuition compared to most MSF programs. If you send in a decent profile (GRE 310 + decent GPA), you'll get some form of financial aid either through GA (50% tuition waiver + stipends) or monetary scholarship. As for placements, it is not a Wall Street placer but it can put you in a nice Finance role at a decent company.

NYU - Aside from their MBA program, all NYU Stern Masters programs get K-leg cos they're meant for professionals. So remove am from your list.

I'll assume you meant University of California Los Angeles (UCLA)

UCLA - UCLA does not have an MSF program. What they actually have is an MS Financial Engineering program. You need to understand that Finance and Financial Engineering are two different programs with different career paths. FE is more mathematically-inclined with some programming (mostly C++). FE leads to careers as Quant Analysts and they are very much in high demand. UCLA Anderson, UC Berkeley Haas and Columbia Fu Foundation Engineering School are among the best 15 Financial Engineering programs in the US.

UMich Ann Arbor - UMich Ann Arbor does not have an MS Finance program. It's instead offered by their Dearborn campus. I won't advise you to pay tuition for that program.

Boston College: I don't think this program is STEM. Won't advise you to apply.

UT Austin : The only STEM program at Red McCombs Business School is their MS Business Analytics. Since this is non STEM, I won't advise you to apply considering that you can get better STEM programs elsewhere.

Northwestern University : Kellogg does not have a standalone MS Finance program.

UCBerkerley Haas - As I said with UCLA, what they have is an MS FE program which is one of the best on the market.

University of Virginia : Darden does not have a standalone MS Finance. McIntire School of Commerce however has a MS Commerce program with concentration in Finance but it's not STEM. So don't apply.

Indiana University : Kelley's program is online.

University of Wisconsin : There are several Universities of Wisconsins. Specify the one you mean.


As I said earlier, you should have an idea of what jobs you want after graduation and where you want to work before choosing an MS Finance program. All programs have their area of specialty and how they place their students. Having an idea of that will help you in selecting schools that meet your needs.

Also, I should point out that most top MS Finance programs do not provide full financial aid especially those target schools with excellent placements on the Street. So if that is a priority, you should also consider that while making your choice of schools.


Forgive my typos. I wrote this in haste.
