Which Master in Corporate Finance to enter BB or elite IB

Dear all,

Currently enrolled in a top tier Bachelor with major in Corporate Finance (Europe based), I'm considering to follow on a Master. All the BS rankings I find on the web don't seem to actually fit with reality of IB/Buy-Side recruiting. I'm wondering which BS recruiters actually prefer to see on a resume for those career paths. In Europe it seems pretty obvious that HEC/LBS/LSE sound well. However, in the US I don't have much insight of the right Master to pursue a financial career.

If you can give a personal insight it would be much appreciated! Thanks,
