Vandy MSF for buyside or Yale MMS (Asset Management Masters)

Recently got into Vandy's MSF program. Heard great things and they encouraged me to enroll even though i expressed my interest for investment management / buyside ( All prior internships have been at long-only funds). 

But i'm constantly debating if hypothetically i go for something like Yale's Asset management masters or Chicago's MiF although i've heard mixed things about Chicago but giving them some benefit as it was the first year of the program. 

I know Vandy is known for IB but would placement to investment management be completely off the table?
