target school master finance advantage?

Does following a finance master at a target university really gives you a big advantage compared to following a master at a normal university?

I am a dutch student considering taking my master in finance at a target university, but don't know if it's really worth it if I want to make it in investment banking. Does it really give me a big advantage? And which university you think is the best (America not included)?
