Undergrad: Princeton ORFE vs. Stanford MS&E

Hello, I'm debating between these two options for a potential career in finance. I'm specifically interested in PE/VC, but not sure how to get into it (uncertain if I need a Master's, need to work in IB first, etc.). Any thoughts about the academics, location/access, advantages/disadvantages?

Thanks.
