NYU or Columbia

I have been accepted to both NYU and Columbia emba programs, and can’t decide which one to attend, as they are both comprable in the polls.

Attending NYU will be a better experience:

1. they take care of every non-acedemic chore (book buying, class registration, meals, etc).

2) They have a very personal touch - they get to know the student and cater to the student. I won’t be just a number.

3) They have always been in the shadows of Columbia, and have been rising in the rankings. They try harder to please.

4) Some people mistaken NYU as a state school.

I would get a better education and experience with NYU, but not the Ivy branding

Columbia is an Ivy:

1. Columbia has been falling in the rankings - but IVY!

2) By blue collar father says - he has heard of Kellog, Harvard, Wharton, and NYU business schools - never Columbia

3) Columbia is an Ivy.

Any advice - which school would you accept and why.
Given emphasis on the branding at the graduate level, and the life long bradnign that it carries, does Columbia carry more weight than NYU?
