UVA McIntire School of Commerce vs Vanderbilt Owen Graduate School of Management

Just received offer letters for both schools. Looking for a Masters in Commerce with a specialization in Finance at UVA and a MSF from Vanderbilt. Both programs seem to have great reviews/rankings online. Not seeing a clear winner for those interested in IB, except for more placement at Vandy, along with a slightly higher starting salary.

Which would you choose for going into IB?

Thank you for any help!
