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.

Dear fellow members
Please help me making a decision.
I have been admitted to Cornell 1-year MBA and ESADE. I'm waiting decision from Bocconi and Oxford.
My case is that I'm on H-1B and currently working in USA. I'm working with a Fortune 50 company and earning 6 figures. I have already used 4.5 years out of 6 years cap in H-1B. My current employer is processing my GC, but it is just on initial stage. I want to pursue MBA just to accelerate my career growth. I'm interested in 1 year programs only.
Current Scenario -
Cornell 1-year MBA
The deposit deadline is March 1. Classes will start from May. Now, to attend this course, I will have to transfer my H-1 status to F1 by visiting my home country. I will have to spend $120k to complete the course and will get 12 months of OPT. However, I will not be eligible for new H-1B visa, and my new employer will have to use my 1.5 years of H-1B. To continue employment, my employer will have to file GC right from Day 1, which is very unusual. According to some alumni, I will face difficulties in finding such employer.
ESADE -
The deposit Deadline is Feb 15. The cost is $90k. No visa issues as I can just leave USA. However, getting US employer will be an issue. Also, not sure how good is the ESADE brand worldwide.
Oxford -
My interview went well, and I'm getting a positive vibe. Results will be declared on March 9. But by that time, both Cornell's and ESADE's deposit deadline will pass. Oxford is a good brand and the cost will be around $90k. No visa issues here. I might get a US employer.
Boconni -
Waiting decision.
Please suggest what should I do

It seems you have a desire to return to your employer potentially so I would lean Cornell here. Consider putting down the deposit then seeing how Oxford shakes out and re-evaluate your options. It seems you won't really have a clear path forward until you hear back from Oxford. But I would at least try and hold on to that Cornell admit in the meantime
