Neither NYU nor Columbia carry any weight in the field. None of the faculty publish or have any significant disciplinary accomplishments. You are much better off attending Hofstra, Baruch, or surrounding programs such as New Haven or Montclair State. All give more rounded, empirical, and applied training which will better prepare you for (a) designing your own solutions in companies, (b) acing consulting interviews by other I/O psychologists, and (c) linking you into the actual I/O discipline because all have faulty who are regularly involved in SIOP, METRO, and other I/O psychological entities.
As a note on SIOP student surveys for Columbia and NYU - all are biased upwards because people's program attitudes are largely shaped by the institution's prestige rather than program quality. Someone attending a sub-par Harvard Graduate program will still evaluate it favorable because they are affiliated with Harvard. Same for other Ivy leagues - people's attitudes are great going in because the image of columbia and NYU far outpaced the actual quality of the grad programs.
