It won’t really matter for graduate school that you went to a business school or undergrad arts and sciences program. In the end, you probably want the best overall experience possible - socially and academically. I would rank them on the criteria on what I think I myself would enjoy the most as an international visiting the US:

UNC-CH (amazing, awesome school that is very friendly)
University of Texas-Austin (really nice US City, lots of action)
University of Michigan-Ann Arbor
University of Wisconsin (this or Michigan would be a tough choice)

I would throw out OSU and Illinois (socially and academically last). I don’t know much about UBC.

I would not consider Baruch (not a great rep here) or Babson (just doesn’t have the energy of the schools you’ve listed above).
