Duke's MMS or UVA's Global Commerce

I have read what I feel like the entirety of posts about both programs, but most are over 3 years old. I wanted to get advice or information from anyone regarding these programs both from an outside perspective as well as anyone in (or has been in) the programs. They both are 1-year programs that give students the ability to "re-brand" themselves as well as shore up on their business acumen. Duke positions itself more as an "MBA-lite" while UVA's is a much more rigorous and global experience. Looking through placements both programs do well, but it looks like UVA is much more hands-on with recruiting while Duke simply gives you the keys. That all being said I will include my background as well as a pro/con list for both schools and would love to hear any and all thoughts.

Background:
Mid-Size State School in the South-East
Biomedical Sciences and Finance concurrent majors
Cumulative GPA: 3.75, Finance GPA: 3.92, GRE: 329, ACT: 32
President of 3 campus org (SGA, Community, Campus Recruiting)
Member/VP of 5-8 other orgs
3 Internships (1 as a medical assistant, 1 as a back-office analyst, 1 as a New York Wealth management consultant)
- tl;dr: Was pre-med, added fiance major so I could use entire full-ride scholarship and not graduate early, loved it. Senior year decided to switch and now transition myself into consulting.

Duke
Pros:
- 更享有声望
-Alumni Network
-More consultants (even more if you consider Duke is smaller)
-Entirely in US (if I try to break intoIBneed to recruit in spring?)
-Given a scholarship (equal cost to UVA program now)
-Ability to return for an accelerated fullMBA
- Classes seems easier (but same case 1st yearMBAstudents so?)

Cons:
-MS in Management Studies looks dumb
-Access to recruiting, but no help in recruiting

UVA
Pros:
- 两个学位(来自UVA的MS全球商业和ESADE全球战略管理中的MS)
-Spend 5 months outside US traveling
-More directed recruiting efforts
-Personally know 2 people recruited toMBBfrom program

Cons:
-Put stress on relationship (want to keep)
-NoIBrecruiting in Spring
-covid-19可能会阻止旅行

Thanks for any and all help!
