Which MSF should I go for?

Hey guys, hope all's well. Quick question for y'all. I want to preface this by saying that I DO NOT think that IB is the end all, be all. I am ok and interested in going to other fields, such as AM, PE, Analytics even, etc. So my question is more geared towards finding a job in mid/high finance rather than finding a job purely in IB.


With that being said, working in New York has always been the goal for me. What would be the best MSF's I should go for if I want to work in mid/high finance in New York? (Also willing to work elsewhere for 6 months to a year and then transition to New York if that is possible). 


This is purely a question regarding an MSF, I know networking and trying to find FT offers is also an option and that is in play for me as well. Just curious about graduate school options. GPA is currently a 3.72 and I expect to get a 700 GMAT (at least that's what I hope!) Please let me know!
