<p>I disagree with @jkeil911 in that from an outcomes perspective, I don’t think Rochester is stronger than the rest (I’m quite familiar with CS and somewhat familiar with fin math and, while I won’t say it’s bad, I don’t see Rochester as being at the top in either). It is strong in econ.</p>
<p>NYU Stern has ties to Wall Street and NY and LA both have tech startups. I will say that fin math would be more limiting (you’re really only trained for the financial industry), while with a CS degree, you’re not tied to any particular industry.</p>
<p>Oh, and USC has a famously strong alumni network.</p>
<p>Without knowing the particular schools within the uni as well as goals/interests, however, it’s going to be hard to provide advice.</p>
