NYU SPS MS in Financial Planning vs WashU MS in Finance

I'm a international student who is applying for a master degree related to finance. As the title mentioned, I've received offers from NYU SPS MS in Financial Planning & WashU MS in Finance (Wealth and Asset Management track). Which of the above is a better choice if the tuition is not a concern for me? I am mostly interested in asset and wealth management so both of the programs align with my interest. Please give me some advice. I really appreciate that! By the way, I've also applied to University of Arizona, Maryland University, and Purdue. But I think these are not better than WashU or NYU, so we're not gonna talk about them here imo.
