Need your opinions on different MSF programs in the US as an international applicant

Hi guys, I am a business administration and economics with concentration in finance undergrad from Germany and my biggest dream is to do my Master of Finance in the US (STEM) and work there afterward. I looked at all the programs and will tell you my favorites. I am a bit concerned about my GPA, it is only 3.2 and I am currently studying for the GMAT (Hope to end up somewhere around at least 650 - the more the better). I also spent my exchange semester at San Diego State and I hope this is also a positive fact for my application? Concerning work experience, I did an 2 1/2 year apprenticeship, worked as an Accountant for 1 1/2 year at a international corporation and did an internship in the M&A Transaction Services department at Deloitte. I wanna have all doors open in M&A, Private Equity, or even things like consulting or Real Estate but I don´t say that I absolutely have to go to a BB or so. Time will tell. So the brand of the university is important but the culture and the city is also important to me.

These are my favorite programs:

USC UT Austin Vanderbilt Notre Dame UCSD SMU Dallas UT Dallas Ohio State

What do you think about these choices? Do I have a shot at universities like Notre Dame, Vanderbilt, or USC?? It is hard to evaluate for me since I am from Europe and barely have insights. Where is it best to live/What is the best culture and where do I have the best opportunities for later? Would love to hear your opinions, I really appreciate your help! Thank!!!
