Columbia and Chicago would be better than Stern for PE/VC. Columbia's strength really is its massive NY/San Francisco/London alum network whereas no one will doubt your quant analytical skills if you end up at Chicago.
I have no information on NYU. However, I took a course at the Johnson School during my senior year at Cornell. Their PE/VC (Entrepreneurship & Private Equity) courses are taught by David BenDaniel. His course was excellent and he is very well connected to a seemingly endless number successful investors. You should look in to their program.

is it just bad information that i've read, or isn't it quite difficult to get into PE/VC, unless you graduate from Standford or Harvard. And even so, I've heard it's difficult for them. Not trying to discourage anyone, but I was considering this field after my MBA and my research hasn't provided much encouragement....

I think it's fair to say that it's tough to land VC/PE work from any school. It's easier from a top school, but a top school like Chicago Booth (from which I'm an alum ) should be just as good as Harvard or Stanford.
A lot of factors go into the outcome that you're describing and you might be better off evaluating them individually -- the quality of the education, the nature of the alumni network, the type of recruiting program, and so forth.
