Debt free masters in finance?

I know it is near impossible to do debt free masters in finance form USA unless you get a full ride and also get a good paid internship.For me it is not the case. I am an international (Asian)student applying to following colleges/universities based on my profile where I have a good chance to get in. 1.Rutgers(MQF) 2.Rochester(Simon MSF) 3.Baruch(MSF) 4.Brandeis(MSF) 5.Bentley(MSF) 6.Stevens(MSF) 7.Fordham(MSF) 8.SUNY UB SOM(MSF) Can anyone advise which of the above would provide the best long term ROI, better networking opportunities and good alumni base?
