All - I am on an investment team for a sizeable endowment/pension ($10BN) helping with portfolio management, due diligence of managers, etc. I am going back to school to make a pivot within asset management to the direct buyside, ideally becoming an investment/research/portfolio analyst for a fixed income firm. I have been offered full tuition + stipend at Fisher, have been offered 1/4 of tuition discount at Tepper, and no money at Georgetown.
Fisher has been more impressive than what I originally expected -- they had by far the best interview process and classroom experience (the class I attended was the best out of all my on-school visits). That said, there is a big drop off in ranking between Fisher and McDonough/Tepper.
I did not expect this decision to be quite this hard, but I'm really struggling and would appreciate some help!

Congratulations on your admits!
Staying within the same industry is a strength and a benefit since you can leverage your background and experience to find internships/job offers and potentially recruit from a lower ranked school or amplify your profile with a strong brand name from school and work experience.
Without looking at where you want to work, the difference between Georgetown and Fisher is probably not that substantial unless you want to be in DC where Georgetown is strongly represented by its undergrad and Law School. Tepper is a contender but I feel the offers would be balanced if you got 50% at Tepper. With only 25%, I feel the Fisher offer is sweeter.
What you are trying to do is hard. Are you able to network and single-handedly and unilaterally get an internship and a job without any help from the MBA program? Tepper is not a big finance school - only 10% head to Financial Services vs 30% to Tech and 30% to consulting. Fisher is about the same but with a program that's about a half/third of the size.
Bottom line - I think no matter where you go (unless it is Booth or Wharton) you will have recruit off campus and as long as you are OK with that, I think Fisher is a great opportunity. Having said that, it is not the best in the pack and if you are looking for the best of everything (except cost) then I'd pick Tepper. What do you think?
Congrats!!!

Congrats on your admit to great schools. I suggest you go with Tepper or McDonough. These 2 ranked in the top 35.
