According to http://www.mastersindatascience.org/schools/23-great-schools... it's one of the best data science programs out there. Is there any other one that you can recommend?

I haven't gone through other programs, so I can't say from personal experience.

There are no programs that have stood out to me during hiring to predict the quality of the candidate.

If you're a student looking at programs, I would prioritize the amount and quality of individual attention you stand to receive. A self-directed student can do well anywhere (including on their own). If you're not so stubborn/resilient, having a good community and mentorship to help you overcome difficult times is key.
