Thank you for pointing out the obvious thing I missed - 50% scholarship at Emory. $60K is much better than $120K.
The only thing I can add to my original post/suggestion and to your clarification is a bit of demystification - there is the chicken and the egg question that many have - do HBS folks find great jobs because they went to HBS or is it because HBS admits only the best of the best who would not have issues finding those jobs in the first place?
When someone says "School X" has great placement into MBB or Finance, that often means, that the applicants it attracts are drawn to those industries, and are natural candidates. For example, would Wells Fargo hire someone without any Finance Experience but from Emory or someone with 4 years of Finance roles but from WP Carey? I probably don't need to answer that question. The school's value and brand matters mostly for the first job you are getting - the top 10 have a great on-campus recruiting machine and resources, in part due to the candidates they attract, not due to the professors they have or something amazing they teach (you are not going to use much of the theory you will learn in bscool at work - your job will likely rely and be done better using your bschool knowledge but you get so much and so many things crammed in BSchool that you can't use all of them. It is mostly about the basics - being professional, delivery good presentations, team work, and sharp mind. It is not about knowing the valuation strategies or accounting principles in GAAP that you will use on the job.
So I am going to get to my point as I have to run an errand - unless a school offers on campus recruiting events/opportunities that many students take part in, you are out there on your own - you will be bugging alums, sending in resumes, and cold-calling recruiters. You may click with someone from Emory right away or you may click with someone from ASU - it is a toss up..... The two schools are very close in rankings and selectivity.... Unless Emory can give you something more than ASU, in the long run, you won't have that much of a difference between the two programs besides you will likely go west from ASU and be more on the east coast/south with Emory.... that's the retrospect years after getting an MBA.
