Can you add your timelines to the Tracker @jinay ?
This would help with predicting when you will get your decisions for the remaining programs.
Assuming you will only get these 2 programs, picking one will be finding which is best match to your career goal.
What kind of job and roles after graduation you expect?
Is your expectation realistic? Wanting to be a quant trader or quant researcher at a top firm is not realistic.
Which program prepares you best for that role?
Does it have a track record of placing alumni in that role out of graduation?
What type of firms and employers the program has an ongoing relationship with?
What kind of placement support do they provide?

These are the questions and answers that will help you make a decision. They can and should be available to you, either online, via direct communication or through online info sessions.
I would strongly suggest you find answer for these from all programs before you make a decision.
Failing to do this basic search will surely result will a career disaster or worse.
