Hey guys,
I am an international student. I have been admitted to Owen Vanderbilt with 70% scholarship and University of Wisconsin with 50% scholarship. My expenses would be around same in both the colleges.
Post MBA, I'm interested in Corporate Finance. Also work location is not much of a factor, but preferably west coast.
My main consideration in choosing a school is: 1. Better placement in corporate finance for international student 2. A better ROI which helps in long run 3. A better brand name
So guys I would really appreciate your feedback regarding this.
Thanks.

Full disclosure: Vandy alum, love Owen.
Based on your post, Owen is clearly the better option IMO.
According to the employment reports, both programs place ~1/4 of their class into Finance roles (though it is not easy to distinguish between banking and corp finance on the reports). While placement % may be similar, the employment reports show that Owen has a greater national reach (though it is more East Coast focused) and a higher average starting salary.
UW: https://bus.wisc.edu/employers/program- ... ialization
VU: https://www.owen.vanderbilt.edu/employer ... report.cfm
Additionally, I'll add:
Owen Brand > Wisconsin School of Business Brand (according to USNWR B-School rankings)
Vanderbilt Brand > University of Wisconsin Brand (according to USNWR Uni rankings)
Nashville > Madison (in just about every way)
SEC > Big 10 (in my not-so-humble-opinion)
Good luck with the decision!

Two great schools.
I would tap that Vanderbilt offer.
Its clearly a Bigger Brand.
Nashville >> Wisconsin
Plus with that kind of money -> You should book that flight to Nashville.
Being an international candidate(Tough times with the whole H1-B mess) you would really heavy on networking to get that dream internship or job.
Make sure you do that as soon as you land in Nashville.
All the best for the MBA.
