"MIT MSc CDO + PhD AeroAstro" vs. "Stanford MSc iCME"

[roncreager]

First of all, thank you all for your pieces of advice in the Discussion Forum, I finally made my way to 2 of my dreamed universities.

 

The thing now is that I have to decide between:

 

1) "MIT MSc CDO + PhD AeroAstro"

2) "Stanford MSc iCME"

3) Trying to defer 1 year the MIT PhD AeroAstro, and pursuing it after completing Stanford MSc iCME.

 

My background is Computational Engineering and Statistics with some interests in Finance.

 

Although it seems like it is the perfect scenario, It will be a very tough decision and I am actually quite disappointed.

 

I am looking forward for your pieces of advice. Especially, Insights in the two programs, admissions rates, changes for PhD once finishing the MSc iCME, your thought in choice 3...

 

Thanks in advance.
