Weighing Master's Programs

Hey guys. I'm a former medical school applicant with a Biology degree. I've always been interested in investing, wealth creation, business, etc. I've decided to forgo the medicine route in order to pursue what I'm actually interested in. In order to help break in, I'm applying to MSF schools. I'm currently working in a non-Finance related sales job in Atlanta. I have a 3.54 GPA and a 650 GMAT. I've applied to the Georgia State MSF, Vanderbilt MSF, the Georgia Tech MBA program and been accepted into Tulane's MSF program and have until December 30th to make a decision on that program. I was hoping to get some feedback. I looked at this stat on Financial Times saying only 16% of students from the Tulane program are employed at three months. What is going on here? Is this because of the fact that a large majority of the students are international and perhaps unable to obtain work visas? A little insight from you guys would be helpful. Thanks
