Help deciding Business school decision

Ive been an analyst at a long short value hedge fund for the past two years. I have applied to a few different business schools and would like your opinions on which ones you believe are best for continuing my career in the hedge fund industry, or possibly breaking into PE or ibanking.

As you will see below I focused more on masters in finance degrees in Europe. As for work opportunities after school, I have Czech (EU), Swiss and US citizenships and speak both French and English fluently, so with regards to where I see myself working after school I really don't mind/have no specific requirements.

IE master in finance
Bocconj master in finance
St Gallen master in banking and finance, also got into master in Econ
University of Geneva/Lausanne (master in finance)
SMU MBA

Would appreciate to hear any and all comments.

 

If you want PE or IB I'd get another year or so of experience and go for the MBA. You are dangerously close to the "imaginary" too much experience for MFin degree. Talk to Ant about MFin programs.

 

Another point, if you go MBA, I'd definitely apply to higher tier schools. If you want to be in Texas, apply to Texas or Rice.

 

From those I would go to St. Gallen.
