I've been accepted to the Michigan (Ross) Los Angeles satellite campus as well as USC Marshall. So far I am leaning quite heavily towards accepting Ross as the LA campus (held at a top notch hotel), students, format (heavy experiential) and class visit were quite impressive.
USC on the other hand is a private school where the network tends to be die-hard loyal and they have connections in entertainment. In getting my degree I hope to open doors into areas like management consulting or into parts of tech where I have not yet worked.
What's funny is I learned of the Ross satellite from a discussion of local programs with the Marshall admissions staff. Glad I did, as Ross is very interesting. I even went to some Ross alumni events in LA and really liked the candor and warmth of the people.
Ross
Pros:
Top-ranked - impressive reputation (not quite M7 but in striking distance by some measures)
Top notch students - the cohort hailed from top companies in all kinds of industries
Team project - includes a 4-month project working on real-world business solutions
Once a month format - perfect for full-time
Location - the LA satellite is actually more well-located than Marshall which is way Downtown (hell commute coming from the Westside)
Highly recruited by top tech like Google and Amazon
Cons:
Expensive
Satellite campus - you don't get the exact same experience, CA network might not be as strong as USC, some people might confuse this for an online MBA
(can't tell you how often I stress LA campus in every conversation)
Marshall
Pros:
Private school with highly dedicated alumni - this could be the most important thing in terms of future employment
Connections in industries such as entertainment (should I ever go that route)
Bi-weekly format - more facetime with class
Cons:
Not as a high a reputation
Campus visit (to part-time NOT exec program) felt like a lot of junior people with little (to zero) industry/leadership experience. Not a fair comparison but it confused me as to who they let in the program.
Bi-weekly format - it could be hard to get this much time off from work

It is really interesting to know about this Ross program. I have never came across it. 
Actually, you need to know how employers perceive the Ross LA campus. Have you seen employment report? connect any alumni? I think it will maintain high quality education by Ross but still the confusion you face with people which I assume you are highly likely to face with recruiters too. Is it a new program?

Hey mo2men - it's hard to tell how Ross-LA is perceived among employers given there's little info on it and the entire Ross program's reporting (ESP employment) is reported as one big umbrella. Ross seems to be highly recruited by consulting firms as well as tech. The students were a cut above and this is the 6th year.
Ross gives access to Ann Arbor, for instance classs can be made up in MI and vice versa. Best part is professors fly in and stay overnight and dine and hang with students. Being in hotel is sort of cool for bonding.
I worry about perception but on the other hand... Ross is Ross.
