Mid-tier MSF programs to pivot into finance?

Currently trying to make a pivot into finance coming from a science/education background. I’m looking at MSF programs. I’m more interested in corporate banking or consulting. Aside from the top 5 MSF programs consistently mentioned everywhere, what are some mid tier/semi-target schools that aren’t revolved around placing IB?
