IU Kelly vs Emory Goizeuta MSF

Hi everyone, 

I am an international college senior studying Accounting and Finance in the US. 

Profile: 

Major - Accounting 

Concentration - Finance 

Certifications - CFA Level  1 passed 

Extracurriculars - unfortunately, i haven't been a part of any campus orgs but I have two on-campus jobs, one as a tutor for an accounting classes. Also was TA for two classes, one finance and another science

Fields of interest: Pretty much open to everything, but more keen on roles in Underwriting, Asset management (niche interests like index structuring), and management consulting

I am finishing my undergrad in three years and realized pretty late that I want to work in finance and not accounting, because of which totally missed the recruiting timeline for finance. Since then, i studied for CFA and passed lvl 1. 

I applied to MSF programs at Vanderbilt, Emory, IU, and UT Austin. So far, I heard back for from IU and Vanderbilt. I got into IU and got waitlisted at Vanderbilt. Vanderbilt has asked me for additional LoR or essay, which I am not sure if I am going to submit. I will hear back from Emory in ten days, but based on how the interview went, I am confident I can get in. The predicament is Kelly deposit payment is on the 15th and Emory's decision will be out on the 25th. I am planning on paying the deposit and making the final decision after i hear from Emory. 

Assuming I get into Emory and the cost is roughly the same (60k) , which school would be a better pick?
