Here's a little background about myself - 2 year in CMBS structuring at BB, 1 year in CDS swaptions research at BB, ~1 year at a credit fund (isn't a HF per se, more akin to PE). Have a nice educational background and solid recs. GRE score is 327/340. I'm at a situation where grad school / b-school isn't necessary at all. So I'm only applying to schools where the incremental benefit to my career would be substantial and worthy. Ideal post grad firm is a credit / structured credit / securitized debt hedge fund.
Here's an initial list below. Wanted to know if people had suggestions / additions / deletions. Any help welcome:
1 Harvard MBA
2 Stanford MBA
3 Wharton MBA
4 Columbia MBA
5 Chicago MBA
6 MIT Mfin
7 Stanford MS Stats
8 Harvard MS Stats
9 Princeton Mfin
10 Berkeley MFE

If I get into H/S/W/Princeton however, I def would consider going given the strong brand name (I didn't go to Ivy UG) and long run benefits. Plus a break from the industry would def be welcome, esp if its b-school.
Without knowing your personal situation (folks don't go to b-school just for their career; a lot of H/S/W folks don't need the degree, or even need the pedigree, as they already have plenty of it), what I strongly suggest is to visit a few schools.
Right now, class is in session, and you may get a much better handle on whether you feel it's worth spending the time and money to go to school full-time by sitting in on classes, talking to current students outside of class, and getting a feel for what being an MBA student is like.
Again, there are plenty of folks like yourself who don't need the MBA or any grad school -- and whether you go or not is really entirely a personal decision (plenty of people in your shoes may not go at all, while others like yourself would go).
