I'm in the same situation. I'm leaning heavily towards Cornell. Their placement stats are similar to that of Columbia's MSFE program, and probably better than Columbia's MSOR program. They also have a smaller class size and the program is run by two former Wall Street practitioners. I spoke to a current student last week and he says the career team really works their ass off to place students, and he felt that probably no other program approaches the level of dedication Cornell has for its students' placements.

The best place to ask this is probably Quantnet, by the way, but I think WSO could use more information on MFEs for future candidates hence why I posted.
