Help picking MSF program: Kelley vs Owen

Hey everyone, I’m kinda torn between IU Kelley and Vanderbilt Owen’s MSF programs. I wanna get into healthcare/life sciences corporate finance/development. I’m coming from a non-target undergrad with a STEM background. Kelley is cheaper by roughly 20k and has an 18 month program to allow for an extra semester of recruitment. Vanderbilt is only 10 months long but it seem to have a pretty good reputation. Not sure if anyone has any advice on either program but I’d appreciate any advice!
