MBA Programs for Future Professional Investors

Hey. Well, it seems like the 3 schools that are mentioned as having the best mba programs are harvard, wharton, and stanford. However, wouldn't going to Columbia instead of the aforementioned schools be of greater value to someone interested in starting a value hedge fund? Or do the networking opportunities at the other schools outweigh whatever knowledge may be gained at Columbia, or another program that is known for value investing?
