MIT MFin vs. Stanford MS&E

Hi all,

I got into both the MIT M.Fin program and the Stanford MS&E program. Which do you guys think is better for breaking into banking?

Which would you say is better for my career over all? Any idea what a typical title/starting salary coming out of these programs would be?

A buddy of mine from prep school is at Stanford's MS&E program and he loves it. He actually chose that over some other top mba programs and he thinks it's the best decision he has ever made. We are from Boston so his opinion might be a bit skewed because of the amazing location compared to Boston but you really can't go wrong with either program.
