Congrats on your admits. This is a tough choice, where do you want to end up, in the US or international? If in US, I really think you’re splitting hairs between Tepper and McCombs. I don’t think you can definitely say Tepper is a higher brand or more prestigious. They are completely peer schools ranked 17 and 19 (which really doesn’t mean any difference really).....they are essentially the same tier of schools. In this case I’d just go for the chowder alternative because brand wise they are peers.

Thank you for your response. US vs. UK or International isn't a determining factor for me. It's about landing a job in Tier 1 or 2 consulting firm after (I will be international in both those countries) . . It's about the depth of experience and learning . . and obviously, its about the brand which you carry forever.
You're right. You can't split between the 2 in terms of ranking. In fact, I am also waiting to hear back from McDonough (which is in the same category) . .
It just seems that in the US and international (where I live and more), Carnegie Mellon seems to be a more prestigious brand. Whereas UT although a fantastic school, is more regional and a lot of their placements are in Texas too . .
For the US schools:
Teppers program is better
McCombs is cheaper
and then there is Oxford
