Goizueta vs Rotman commerce

I am an international student from Canada, and I cannot decide over which university to attend. I can go to the University of Toronto without spending any money at all, while the cost of attending Emory is too much, especially as an international student (50-60k). Also, the job opportunities for international students are limited in the states as well. However, I really want to go to Emory, and my parents do as well, even though I will graduate with a debt of 200k+.
I don't want to graduate with such a huge debt, and I may not be given the opportunity to be employed in the states either. Even though the Goizueta BBA program is ranked 5 in the US, I'm not sure if its worth all the money. Does anyone know how much recent graduates of the BBA program have earned? I know that the median starting salary is 50k, but what is the starting salary at the higher end of the scale?

Not sure anything is worth $200K in loans...

You'd have to be making a hell of a lot of money as a graduate to pay that off in reasonable time.

Rotman is an incredible school. I applied to a canadian school, and I will assure you that Rotman has as much, if not more, international prestige than Emory, even though Emory is ranked 5th in businessweek. I applied to McGill Desautels, and I probably would've picked that over Goizueta. Just look at the caliber of recruiters at Desautels and Rotman-you have pretty much the entire BB at both schools. The U of T is arguably the best school in Canada, and Rotman is a great program if you want to work in Toronto, Chicago, or New York. And,Emory is definitely not a schoool to go 200k in debt for. You'll get great jobs, and save a lot of money by going to rotman.
