I am also a R1 Israeli admit to CMU. CMU has a good brand name especially in quantitative analysis and technology. Nevertheless, it is also considered a very good finance school (my interest). They initiated a new track program, which for further specializations these include: Asset Management, Biotechnology, Entrepreneurship, Operations Management, E-Business Technologies and Computational Marketing.
Good luck!!!!
