Best quantitative finance programs

Hello WSO, I am an undergraduate computer science student from a non-US, non-target university who somehow managed to land a trading internship at a $20B+ quant hedge fund based in Chicago for this upcoming summer. I am thinking about doing a master's degree in the United States at a top school to boost my educational credentials. I'm interested in something quantitative, math-y and CS-y, and so far I like MIT Sloan and Princeton's MFin program. Considering that I want to be a trader instead of a quant, should I go for MFin or MFE and which schools have the most reputable programs?
