Does your Alma Mater and U.S. News Rankings Really Affect Future Job Opportunities?
Here are a few points.

1. Industry Jobs

IMHO, "brand" is more important in the industry than in academia. E.g. in general, the HR department is more likely to forward a CV with Harvard on it. Also, people in the industry are probably not able to understand the academic content of your program.

2. Similar Questions

University rank/stature - How much does it affect one&#39;s career post-Ph.D?

Although these are for PhD programs, there might be interesting bits in there with regards to industry.

3. Look

It might be helpful or informative to look at the CVs of the companies or positions you are interested in. This might give you a clue if only the "branded" universities are hired or if there is a wide range of backgrounds. E.g. with regards to mathematics departments, if you look at the CV of professors, a lot of them are Ivy League or MIT, Stanford etc.

Personally, I would pick the most "branded" program I can get into.
