Business school or keep interning?

I'm currently interning at a real estate investment/management firm in my home town. My end goal is to start my own firm and do pretty much exactly what this company does and I have the opportunity to start from the bottom up here. However, I recently was just accepted to do my Msc in Investment Management at HKUST. I'm stuck between both but I think I know the obvious answer. Any feedback is appreciated.
