What's the question? Do you want us to analyze the situation or tell you what you should've done?
Anyhow, I'll just go ahead and do both. It's generally a good thing when the school's trying sell itself to you rather than looking for the other way around, unless it's Pittsburgh. Actually, it seems like most schools that have a low accepted/interviewed ratio try to sell the school more than try to have you sell yourself.
As for your answer, I would just think about the curricula and give the pros and cons of each. I think as long as you demonstrate your critical thinking abilities it'll be fine. I wouldn't pounce on one of the curriculum over the other, though, just to be safe.
