You have basically listed them in reverse order of where you should go.
Not sure about Cornell versus NYU for finance, but both will serve you better than Yale-NUS if you want to be in New York or the US in general.
For Hong Kong, definitely Cornell (as far as I know, Hong Kong and Singapore employers love Oxbridge + Ivy kids).
Yale-NUS might be great in 5-10 years, but right now it's too new to have a brand and/or career services (relationships with employers). I'd choose between Cornell and NYU based on whether you want to go to a city campus or a middle-of-nowhere-cold-as-hell campus.
Also, t-jfk might be putting NYU>Cornell because of the location. Being in New York makes it easier to network - and NYU also has a pretty solid alumni base in banking etc.
Alright thanks!
NYU it shall be then!
Cornel might be an Ivy but it is a shity Ivy. And is held in very low regard when compared to other Ivy League schools. I would, personally, rather go to Chicago, Duke, Georgetown (to name but 3) non-Ivy schools over Cornel (excluding elite-elites like Stanford and MIT).
NYU would be great for networking and you will have a really good time there being in the city. Plus is arguably a better school, particular if you can get into Stern.
