MSF Baruch vs MSF DePaul

Hello everyone,

This is my first post in the forum and I come here because I need your knowledge and experience regarding MsF programs. 

Right now, I have been accepted into three masters in finance: Baruch- Zicklin, DePaul, and Aberdeen (Scotland), and I intend to start one of them this coming fall (2021), but I am not sure which one would be the most beneficial for me. First of all, I would be an international student in any of the programs (Latin guy here); second, my goal is not to get rich and make tons of money, but I do want the chance to learn and get a job in the investment side of finance since my work experience is more focused on corporate finance; however, I'll be open to any job opportunity that presents. Third, programs at DePaul and Baruch are STEM-designated which would give me a 3-year work permit without a sponsor. Fourth, I've read that users start to suggest other universities, but in my case, these two are the ones that can afford and I did not do the GMAT (don't plan to either) so it is a disadvantage when applying to other schools.

Given all these points, between Baruch and Depaul, where do you think I would have a better education, and possibilities of landing a decent job in finance (by decent I mean 60k-75k)?

Thank you all!

P.S. I mentioned the University of Aberdeen program just in case some of you know about European programs and the job market for international students in the UK, so all comments are welcome.
