Olin vs. OSU MSF

After reviewing both these universities, I am a bit stumped on who can provide me with the best placement for securing a role as an IB analyst. While Olin has the prestige of being known as a great university. OSU has quite a large network base of alumni to feed from, which I know is important in any aspect of business. So I guess I am trying to weigh which is the most useful (prestige or networking) when deciding for school and my future? This decision has proved to be a difficult one for me, and needs to be in soon! So any information on either school concerning IB would be great. Thanks!

I looked into both schools, they aren't Ivys so I know I won't be able to grab positions within BB. But, both seem to place well within regional and a few within MM.
