Updated Tier List regarding US MSF Programs?

As I approach the end of my undergrad at a private non-target studying Finance/Math, I'm heavily considering an MSF to get the name brand, use the network, and break into the industry.

I've been fortunate to land a finance internship at a F500 US company in an international headquarters this summer, and want to use this as well as my GPA as leverage to get into a high end program.

I know Vanderbilt has excellent placement stats, and Georgetown/USC/Villanova all are respectable programs as well. 

Is there a clear tier list available? I scouted the forums and searched on MSFHQ and still haven't been able to find a clear list about what programs to shoot for.

Thank you
