Admissions committees evaluate the GMAT/GRE in context — your background, your representation in the applicant pool, the strength of everything else in your file. The same score works for one candidate and falls short for another with identical numbers.

Deciding between 2 potentially 3 B-Schools: WASHU-Olin (wait listed but I'm sure I will be off the list), SMU-Cox (60%), University of Rochester-Simon (60%)
The facts about SMU: With SMU I already have an extensive network established in Dallas already and SMU has all the things that I want the problem with it is I have no affiliations with larger organizations aka no MLT PD, no Forte, No Consortium
The facts about Rochester: With Rochester I will have Forte, potentially consortium and MLT PD the only thing I am missing from there is the network I have in Dallas, but overall I feel as though Rochester has a genuine interest in me.
The facts about WashU: With WASHU I would have consortium only, obviously no network but WASHU is higher ranked
I am planning on going into Nonprofit leadership with a national organization or government roles my back up is marketing manager with a fortune 500 company should that not pan out well.

Congratulations on your admits!
I don't think you should worry about WashU higher ranking - people debate the top 20 very contentiously and once you go outside of that group, it is even less clear what's better or not, so I would not worry about it and consider them more or less equal. My suggestion would be to focus on the schools that have offered you a scholarship - Simon or Cox.
Simon has a STEM degree, which makes it a magnet for all the international applicants, making 50% of the student body International, and and a bit too heavy in my experience. Simon is especially dominant with Indian nationals - 60 people from India in the class of 2020. SMU has 13% of International students - quite a difference, huh? Pick the place you you would prefer but if you already have a network in Dallas, why not leverage it?
My 2 cents....
