How good is the SMU Cox MSF. What is the rep like for this school?

I am an international student and the program doesn't seem to have many internationals unlike ut dallas or ut Austin. However, I really like SMU for some reason and was wondering what is the reputation of the school in the US or specifically Texas. Can I aim for ft500 Corp fin roles after the MSF? I could only come across two students from my country who have completed the program in the past and one of them works at Amazon and the other at EY which are decent placements for international students who require company sponsorship. 

I was also wondering if the school places at any of the top banks for mid office/ ER roles from the MSF. Lastly, would it be worth it to spend 20k more on an MSF from Vandy, Nova etc? What league is SMU in? Better than indiana, UIUC, etc or lower ranked?
