NYU vs. Booth MBA for IB?

Hi all, I recently received an offer from NYU (with full scholarship) and Chicago Booth (with no scholarship). Wondering which school is the better option in your opinion given that my target is to recruit for IB in NY through business school?

Thanks in advance!

Sometimes i'm baffled by these questions.

Both schools will set you up nicely for IB with no problems if you prepare well.

Given that, take NYU and graduate with no or very little debt. It will provides you more optionality. Say you are a year into your banking job and you decide you don't like banking. You could easily leave with no debt looming above your head.
