Looked through a lot of posts and forums online and have personally chatted with alumni and current students from both schools - But I cannot make up my mind because it seems like these two choices are more or less on par with each other.
To give some more contextual information:
I plan to pursue my MBA primarily to step into Entrepreneurship and both these schools have excellent incubator programs. Since startups and ventures are not a predictable outcome - I do have a Plan B which would be an extension of my current role working in Product Management with a Tech firm. From that perspective - again both schools have good recruitment opportunities except that Seattle is a better location compared to Pittsburgh. I received a small scholarship from Tepper but it is not significant considering the tuition for Foster is half as much as Tepper (although I am not considering tuition as a huge factor at this point)
I am completely open to relocation to either city as I have a flexible job and I work from home.
From personal experience I feel CMU does have a brand established but honestly I doubt it matters with regards to an MBA.
I'd love to receive suggestions and feedback from the community and help me solidify my decision. Or even other areas I have failed to consider that maybe helpful? I have been getting biased opinions and would appreciate a holistic view on the two schools.

I like Foster here because it will best position you for your plan B and could even allow some fall or spring internship opportunities at some of the major local tech firms like Microsoft and Amazon. Also, given the cost that is another notch for me towards Foster. Both great schools with a good track record for the industries you want to pursue but I think Foster is the better bet here. Good luck!
