Urgent: Masters in Finance - UIUC Vs Rochester Simon Vs Ohio Fisher

I am an international student. I have received an admit from UIUC, Rochester Simon (35% scholarship), Ohio Fisher ($18,000 scholarship), IIT Chicago ($10,000 scholarship) for Masters in Finance. I am waiting for my result from Duke (MQM). Post Masters, I am looking for a job in Investment Research in US. I would appreciate your feedback on how will you rank the above universities based on placements and course offerings.
