Best mba program for nyc tech?

I have to choose between Sloan, Cbs, and Wharton for my mba. 


my background:

bs+ms at top 3 cs school (not mit) 

~5 years as a software engineer, half  at hft (Jane street / two sigma) and half at fang 

why mba? I’m bored of coding and have a super solid technical background, want to stay in tech but do things on the strategy/business side. Always wanted to go to b school so here we are.

Post mba: leaning towards mbb for two years or directly into tech if anything spicy comes up

why mit? 
I’m an engineer, it just feels like a natural fit. I’ve worked on startups on the side and would love to continue to do so. But I feel like it’ll be good for me to get out of my tech bubble, there’s more to life.

why cbs?

I grew up in nyc. Want to move back and spend the rest of my life there. Figured the cbs network would make sense since most end up in the city? But two years in Boston/philly isn’t bad at all and I can just move back to nyc after. 

why Wharton? 
It’s the “best” school out of the three, most people have told me they would pick it over the others (ironically, this is the school I’m least excited about) Want to go into vc long term, but I’m pretty sure by then my work and network should matter more than the school? Or is the Wharton network really that valuable for buyside?
