KFUPM vs. McMaster for business school prospects

Im considering both for undergrad. Which will give me the best shot at a top business school?

Attending KFUPM (King Fahd University of Petroleum&Minerals) is like attending UPenn-Wharton in Saudi Arabia. Guaranteed job, top of the pay scale. Im wondering if it will give me a good shot for business school though (top 5 for finance).

Thanks

 

KFUPM gets you the top job, top salary here. USD $8250-$9500 a month, which is a lot (no taxes, housing costs are very minimal, relatively speaking...10k USD a year's rent for a top-end apartment!)

McMaster competes with 4 others!

If I had the same GPA (high), same GMAT score (high) and the same work experience (very international), which one of the above schools would put me in a better position to be admitted to a top 5 business school?

thank you
