Id go to Cornell--> NYU CAS --> Hopkins --> consider the other nyc schools for location.

I think Cornell is by far the best school for its combination of education and recruiting. I would also consider NYU or Hopkins because of the ability to do an internship throughout the school year and the decent ocr at NYU. Most of the people I know at NYU got FO job offers for SA and FT.
