Hi so I got accepted at the LSE for Financial Mathematics and at NYU for Mathematics. I’m an international student leaning primarily towards NYU mainly because I don’t want to live in Europe in the future and I’m not actually sure I like financial math (I just like math tbh).
But aside from that which program would get me a higher salary/better job opportunities after graduation? Which one is more “worth it” in your opinion?
Salary would depend on your abilities and work status.
How do you define whether a college is “worth it”?
What math do you like as opposed to financial math?
Are you thinking that going to NYU will put you in a position to stay in the US? if so, know that is exceptionally unlikely.
Did you not get an A*, or did you not apply to Math at LSE? Within the Financial Math group you can switch after the first year between Fin Math, Actuarial Science and Math, Stats & Business.
IMO, LSE is a more portable degree than NYU.
