MSF: Pepperdine, U of San Fran, St. Mary's College, UCSC, CSUStanislaus?

How would you rank these lower tier MSF programs in Cali (Pepperdine, U of San Fran, St. Mary's College, UCSC, CSU Stanislaus)? Which schools would you recommend for someone breaking into finance? Which of these schools has the best chances for recruitment? I left out the bigger names (Stanford, Berkeley, UCLA, USC, CMC) on purpose.
