I’ve received acceptance from UIUC MSFE (with data science concentration) and Georgia Tech MSQCF, and I’m wondering which program would be the best fit for a career in quantitative finance. Should I choose one of these or wait for NYU’s response?

Here are the metrics I’m considering:
  • Return on Investment (ROI)
  • Curriculum
  • Reputation and Ranking
  • Job Placement
  • Location and Networking Opportunities
 
Congrats on your offers. You may want to put the application timelines on the Tracker so people can help you better.
Without your profile, background and job target, it's impossible to give any input.
I'm sure you have done researches on these programs and have a good feeling which one is a good fit. It will be productive to share what you learn about each program so far and other members can give you some additional input or thoughts.
Otherwise, people will make the wrong choice for you and it will not serve you right. This is an important decision that will affect your future career so you want to tread this carefully.
