COX MSF vs SIMON MSF ($$$) vs DUKE MQM

Hi all. I really need some opinions on this before I make my decision next month.

First of all, I am international student seeking to work in the states after my graduate school. Preferably in the IB, ER or consulting. I have approximately one year working experience as buy-side equity research before going for my masters. Money is a minor concern because I most probably will be taking loan from Prodigy Finance.

These are the schools which I need help in comparing. 1. Southern Methodist University MSF 2. University of Rochester MSF (60% scholarship) 3. Duke University MQM Finance Track (Still awaiting for the result on Decemember)

Really appreciate it.
