Admission Decision help urgently needed

MSF Program admission decision

Hello, I am an international student applicant and have received admission in

1) Ohio State(Fisher School of Business) with 20% scholarship
2) University of Utah(David Eccles School of Business) for MSF (Masters of Science Finance) .
3) Bentley- 40% scholarship

Awaiting decision :- UT Austin, USC Marshall, UIUC, Rochester-Simon
I have interviewed for USC and Simon

My concerns with the following schools
1) OSU- good brand name but an accelerated 9-month program. Will I get a job as I have no background and internships in finance?
2) Utah- Location in the middle of nowhere plus 10-month course.Concerned about employment
3) Bentley- Good curriculum with data analytics 1.5-year course with an internship but not well known and does not have a good brand name and no idea about placements

I am concerned that small course tenure and no internship opportunity will hinder me in job search .
I have cleared CFA level 1 and appearing for level 2 so that should give me some leverage during job hunt.

Help needed in making a decision. I want to know if Ohio is a good choice and does brand name make up for short course?
