Syracuse or William & Mary?

Which online MBA would be better for investment banking or advising over the other one? 

Syracuse is so much more expensive ($30k difference) but it has a good NYC based population, whereas William & Mary seems to go into government or consulting in DC. 

Your thoughts? Are both schools second or third tier? My non business friends think both schools are super prestigious and fancy LOL.

Neither school, the full time programs at both schools are not even targets. Neither program will help you land an IB job. MBA IB hiring is highly structured, you won't have a way in from a non-target's online program.  

Why not look at the T15 programs? Ross has a great online MBA program if you're focused on going online. If you want to do part time, NYU is a good bet.

If you're set on IB, you need a T15 full time program.
