Vote for SB. But u also need to consider the problem of prelim. I heard that their prelim is a little bit tough. I guess, money is not a big issue for such university. Actually, SB is pretty strong in game theory. If u have interest in game theory, it will be a pretty good choice for you. Also the course of financial economics can not help you too much to transfer to finance program. However, the fame of the department can help you a lot. U know, the basis of finance is microeconomics. In addition, IO & game thoery are also always be applicable in finance. Having a solid background in economics is also important for u to transfer.
