Accepted to multiple MSF, which should I choose?

-I am an upcoming graduate from a non target state school with a 3.4 upper GPA and 650 GMAT.
-I have been accepted to the MSF program at FSU, USC, Villanova, and have an interview with WUSTL this week but am expecting to get in.
-I want to leverage my MSF degree into an IBD position at bulge bracket bank.

I am not really Florida State, but am unsure of which of the three other schools, (USC, WUSTL, or Villanova) will give me the best opportunities moving forward. I know they are all similar tier schools, but rankings change and the program at USC is very new. I have heard that these programs are very regional and you should attend a school closest to where you want to work. I am equally interested in either region, as I know Villanova will put me closest to NYC, WUSTL to St. Louis and Chicago, and USC to San Francisco. Does anybody have any advice as to which program would best suit my career goals? Thanks in advance for any help!

 

Should I get accepted to WUSTL how would you compare the two? Speaking with my friends already in the workforce they contend that USC is the stronger degree and offers more post grad opportunities as far as location goes. However the program at USC is so new that it is tough to gauge at this point.
