Hi,
BC is a strong finance school and since you are not interested in that career trajectory, I recommend that you join the Terrier network.
I also recommend that you combine your MBA with the MSDi curriculum at BU as it will be helpful when you try and recruit for the Tech jobs around the New-England area and possibly outside west.

BU Questrom is the clear winner here if tech is your focus. A full 28% of the class of 2017 (who accepted offers) went into tech after graduation: https://questromfeld.bu.edu/wp-content/ ... Report.pdf
On the other hand, as Stonecold mentioned, BC is a much stronger finance school. Only 5% of the class of 2017 went into tech after graduation and I only see two tech companies from their list of firms that hired grads from 2014-2016: https://issuu.com/bccsom/docs/mba_infographic
This indicates that BC doesn't have a strong tech recruiting pipeline set up. Since you're a career switcher and recognize that you will need the full support of your career services office, I think it makes most sense to attend the school where a significant proportion of students are able to land a job in tech afterwards. This indicates to me that tech employers have a good relationship with the school (i.e. career services) and a bigger alumni network in the types of companies & roles that you are targeting.
Best of luck!
