Columbia or Hopkins masters in business analytics? Both?

Finally got off Columbia waitlist for their MSBA program but I’m currently at Hopkins doing the same degree essentially. Just finished my first semester @ hoppies. I have a scholarship at JHU, but nothing for Columbia. I don’t think I’m able to do both (explored this option today w/ career counselor and academic advisor).

Are the connections and all the paths associated with Columbia to getting into Wall Street true? Will I land a job at a bigger bank for IB (ie GS, JPM, MS) by going to Columbia? Are there other benefits of having an Ivy League education under my belt?

Someone help a monkey out

Side note: career aspirations are IB -> PE VC or HFM
