This is an excellent question and thanks for bringing it up. I haven't looked into the recruiting profile at Stern but it might be that they have stronger ties with the finance community, think inelastic demand (fewer jobs to go around, so the ones with established connections are the first in the money line), or it might be that they were able to place more grads at smaller shops (think Greenhill and Lazard type of places). Again, disclaimer: I don't know much about recruiting at Stern, so this is no more than an educated guess, based on what I've seen/heard has happened at various schools. I think that all finance-heavy schools (other than Stern perhaps) have been more or less affected. A great example would be Wharton.

The mind sees what it choses to see.
If you plot cornell's rankings against feet of snowfall in Ithaca since 1990 I am sure there are people who will observe a correlation. However none of us will contest the claim that the correlation is mere coincidence.
Similarly while plotting change in cornell rankings to the change in index values(DJIA, NYSE etc) , You need to avoid data mining, articulate a clear hypothesis after plotting your graphs and subject your conclusions to hypothesis testing.
I applaud the effort but none of these conclusions are reliable in the slightest.
