Should I choose school prestige over curriculum when choosing a Master's Program?

Hi everyone, 

for better recruitment outcomes in consulting and private equity would you choose a highly relevant curriculum in a MiM or MiF program at a reputable, yet non-target school or a Master's in Int. Affairs with a focus in Int. Finance at an Ivy?

Would a brand name open more doors for me than an actual "business degree" when applying?
