i believe baylor is supposed to be far better than nyu. rank baylor higher, unless you prefer quite significantly prefer nyc to houston for personal reasons.
as far as the 'UCs" do you mean california schools? i believe jules stein at ucla is a top program (up there with wilmer, wills, etc), usc-doheny is also a good program (slightly better than baylor in reputation and people seem to love it), ucsf is also reputable though not usually considered among the top 5-6 programs in the country. all 3 of these california school sare likely more reputable than nyu, though among the 3, i think only ucla a no-brainer improvement over baylor with regard to reputation. the other california programs (uc-davis, uc-san diego, irvine, stanford) are likely not as reputable as baylor.
that being said, obviously reputation is not the only thing that matters. there are other factors, but the importance of these factors (location, training style, surgical volume, etc) are based on personal preferences and their relative importance differs from person to person, so i did not bother to discuss these aspects in detail. i'm sure u know from interviewing what the call schedule, volume, etc is like.
