Non-target, Georgetown MSF or lateral?

I'm a recent immigrant to the US so had to transfer my credits from a target European university to a non-target school in the US. Have some family office PE/VC experience in the US/MENA/EU and want to get into IB. Should I accept Georgetown MSF and try to break in using the network and brand name or try for Big 4, and try to lateral?
