Please help going from PE to MBA back to PE

First off thanks for taking the time.

I currently work in a, lower middle market PE firm in the Caribbean ($125AUM), I am planning on applying for an MBA in Fall 2013. Want to know what schools would be best to attend if I wanted to go into a mega/ upper middle market fund in the states. I have obviously heard Harvard/ Wharton/ Columbia/ Stanford/ Chicago, but can anyone whose been in a similar situation give some more insight on the matter.

Best,

SIL

Go to the best school you can get into unless you get a scholarship or something from another peer school.

MM IB -> Corporate Development -> Strategic Finance
