Oxford MFE vs. Northwestern MSMS vs. CBS MSAFA

Hi all,

I'm struggling to make a decision between business school master offers in UK and US. I got accepted by Oxford MFE (financial economics), Northwestern Kellogg MSMS (management studies), Duke Fuqua MQM (Quantitative Management strategy track), and still waiting for the Yale Assets Management and Columbia Business School MSAFA (accounting & fundamental analysis). I'm a Canadian currently based in the U.S. I'm open to working worldwide but prefer staying in the U.S. I'm looking to work in the front office in finance or management consulting. I have a return offer from a fund of fund firm (in the US) for now, but still looking for working at a larger platform. Since my undergrad school is not a tier 1 university, so the brand name is my top concern. The working placement after graduation is also a critical factor for me. 

There is not so much information about the Kellogg MSMS program and CBS MSAFA online maybe because they are relatively new programs. My top choices, for now, are Oxford and Kellogg but really have no idea what would it be like to recruit in UK or HK. I also would like to ask about the CBS program because the result release date should be approaching. I would like to ask for some suggestions for which program to attend, any comment would be very helpful! Thanks a lot!
