Well, if you ask me there's not much of difference among the schools in Tier-II. I don't think it would make much difference if you go to say Smeal or Carey or Mays. All of the schools you've mentioned have the same kind of placement rate with almost similar starting figures. Smeal for one has a very strong Supply Chain program ,but I haven't heard much about its finance/marketing programs. If I were you and were to select a couple of tier II schools, I'd be inclined towards schools which are closer to big cities as that will provide you more opportunities for internships and consequently of a job. Get in touch with the students/alumni of the schools you have on your radar, and I think they'll be able to provide first hand perspectives about the schools.

Could you please suggest me some B Schools which are closer to big cities in turn can provide more opportunities?

While all business schools cover very similar curriculum, there is one aspect they are all unique in-their culture. The culture of a school is determined by the faculty of the school, its alumni, its past traditions and values for which it stands and to quite an extent the direction that the present dean wants to give to the program.
