St Andrews for Quant Finance
Got three offers- St Andrews, University of York and University of Strathclyde- all for MSc Statistics. Long term goal is to work in Quantitative Finance (Model Validation Quant). I have 5 years of experience working in Finance (Valuations).
At present I'm learning towards St Andrews (most economic as I am self funding)- but again if someone thinks otherwise please do let me know. I guess my biggest question is- how good is St Andrews reputation wise? The rankings are a bit skewed and I know the primary feeders to Quant/ Investment Banking are Imperial or Oxbridge. But is it an impossible jump? Is the University a good one or should I risk taking another year of and try to improve my profile (long shot) to get into Oxbridge/ Imperial.
