STERN MBA worth it for intl. applicant?

Got approved the NYU GMAT Waiver today. I was wondering if a Stern MBA is worth it for international students who want to break into IB (especially taking into consideration the cost of attendance and risk of not being able to stay.

By the time I start I would have 3 yrs of Sell-side ER experience in LDN and Cont. Europe as well as 6 months of experience working as a equity analyst at a High Frequency Hedge Fund.
