Keep working or Bschool?

2nd year analyst in $2B PE shop.. wondering if I should work another year as Senior Analyst & apply to a top 5 bschool this fall, or try for a pre-MBA Associate position at a different (& better) PE firm, which means delaying bschool for another two years.

I know everyone has their ROI calculation on bschool (earlier is better). But some of the people who go straight from 2 years of analyst to bschool have some more trouble during recruiting as compared to those more established in their carrer (e.g. 2 years banking + 2 years PE).

Advice or thoughts?
