Congrats:
Not much difference academically b/w schools. I happen to personally believe that the Carnegie name is better known in other circles- Carnegie Endowment, Carnegie Hall, Carnegie Libraries, etc. Mellon also has a reputation: Metropolitan Meuseum (NYC), Mellon Bank. A very large amount of America’s wealth and knowledge is derived from Carnegie and associates of Carnegie. Hope that the future students of this school will carry the tradition forward. There is also a connection between Carnegie and MIT.

There are other reasons for not a particular school. Housing availability and housing cost are good examples. Access to transportation is another.

GL on your choice.
