Please help me with my ms in finance list for fall 23

I am a business journalist with experience in a variety of fields, including sales, event planning, and corporate finance. More than 300,000 readers per month read my articles. Reading, writing blogs, and research are among my interests and pastimes. I genuinely think that I can take on equity research or consulting roles as an intern or a full-time/part-time employee to break into the banking industry because mass communication and journalism has helped me build a performance-on-deadline ethic that has demanded concise writing and clear, critical thinking with in-depth research at every point of my job.I also have a international sports diplomaGraduated with a cgpa of 8.56/10 or 3.42/4I also attempted the CFA level 1 exam but failed will definitely go for it again.My uni choices are -Columbia (MA In economics)Rochester -(msc finance)Syracuse university- ( ms in finance)Northeastern school of businessUni of buffalo msc financeRutgers business schoolPlease suggest me universities or even if i can apply for the msf program. Urgent help.
