Doing a masters for Brand name after an internship in VC, Non-target

So I'm currently interning at an EU VC, a long-term internship so I will be doing it for the next 9 months, I also interned at a VC-backed startup and previously interned in Asset Management at a BB, My question is I graduated from a non-target, would going to do a masters at a top university either in London ( LBS, LSE) or France ( HEC Paris, EDHEC) for brand recognition vs applying for a full-time analyst role with the experience I have currently be the better option. 

I am only thinking about this because ( the associate on my team mentioned that I got through  the  screening for the internship initially because of my internship in AM and was almost cut because they didn't really know my university, but I did pass the modelling test and they did like my interview in the end)
