You said you already work at a top-tier MC. Have you tried reaching out to your colleagues or HR to see which school they suggest? For example, if the hiring manager at your firm doesn't really look at Marshall, but views Ross as a core school, I would think that would make your decision easy.
I did ask around but they are not willing to divulge if they prefer one college over another. They gave me their usual HR nonsense, "We care about talent and not where it i comes from". Working in India, I personally know many from the Harvards and Kelloggs of the world, while none are from USC. However, this is the trend in India and might be different otherwise.
Looking at the employment statistics of both the colleges over the last 5 years, I know that the top 6 consulting firms have consistently recruited at Ross, while people from USC going to these firms have been few and far in between. It is difficult to gauge if this is due to the preference of these firms or due to the sheer quality of students that Ross churns out each year.
