I am a Junior in college and considering an MBA/Masters. Also an incoming IB SA at a BB and go to a school considered a "non target". I have been in contact with several advisors and it seems like I would be a strong candidate for a full scholarship masters program in strategy/international relations at one of the Ivy's. On the other hand, I could wait two years and then get an MBA. I could likely get into a few top 30 MBA programs but not one of the Ivy MBA programs. My long term goal is to ride the IB wave and then go into higher education. I know an MBA is more highly valued in IB, but could I make an Ivy masters work in any way? Could I leverage it into an IB Associate position or PE/HF opportunity? The opportunity to attend an Ivy on full scholarship seems to good to pass up, I appreciate any advice!

Ivy masters is way better than only a top 30 MBA
I agree with this. Save your MBA for when you really need it. A Masters from an Ivy would set you up well for MBB consulting (maybe not IB because they don't take as many full-time hires).
Bump, would like more input on this as well
