After an MBA I wish to manage the IT of a top Investment Bank hence a financial background would be god. I have admits from both rotman and simon with no scholarships. I am confused which school to join

. Below are the positives and negatives of both school which come to my mind.
Rotman:-
1. It is No.1 college in Canada and in recent FT ranking slipped from 27th to 40th but that does not concern me much. 6th best in Finance.
2. Expensive with total cost coming to $137,000.
3. Less visa hassles with
PR availability on graduation.
4. Most top finance companies come to Rotman but Business Week claims not very good fo career switchers like me.
5. Located in Downtown Toronto which is 3rd largest financial hub in North America after New York and Chicago
Simon:-
1. Ranked 28th in US and in recent FT ranking slipped from 38th to 47th. 3rd best in Finance
2. Cheaper with total cost coming to $112,000.
3. Visa hassles to switch from F1 to H1B.
4. Has recruiting hassles as claimed by Business Week
5. Located in New York State 6 hr away from New York City. I wonder if this distane is of any concern?
Please I would be grateful to any inputs by all you people out there. Tell me how correct or incorrect is my understanding of the two B-schools is and finally which would be the better B-school for my future career
