Master in Finance Worth It? (Vandy, Villanova, BC)

Debating whether to go to MSF program (Vandy, Villanova, BC). Coming from extremely small, very non target private school and want to get into IB, even if just MM firm in NYC or DC. Undergrad was practically free so was wondering if the extra 55k is worth it to break in, whereas the best possible job to get even with networking from current UG is Risk Management at average bank. Love to hear thoughts on people that have worked with MSF alumni or just the street's thoughts in general.
