Considering Masters in Finance

Hey guys, currently a rising junior at a non-target thinking about doing a masters in finance. Considering staying at my current school for the masters as the cost of tuition is favorable. I'm assuming if I get my masters from a target or semi-target it will hold more weight and add more value. Wondering if there is any value in getting a masters in general from whichever school and if it will give me an edge when applying for jobs. Eyeing a career in ER/IB.  Thanks!
