MFin/MFA/MFE for HF recruiting

Hi everyone, 

I am seeking advice in order to maximize my chances of getting a position at a hedge fund. I'll share my background:

- Bachelor in finance + master's in management in Europe with a great GPA

- 1 year in IB in Europe

I now wanna break into HF in the US and I wonder what would be the best choice among an MFin, an MBA, or a MFE? Also, what are the target schools?
 

Thanks
