I would suggest you don't attend either!!! If neither school has a very STRONG MBA program in Finance, then why bother investing so much $$ and time into an MBA program?? I would suggest earning an additional year of work experience (even if that means moving to a new empoyer with new responsibilities to add to your resume and skill sets), retaking your GMATs ( to make you more competitive in the MBA acceptance process), and trying to garner better references, and improving your essays. The benefits earned by attending a top MBA program are too much to be easily dismissed. I attend MIT Sloan, and have been interviewed by all the top of the line BBs. I must add that if you are really considering I-Banking and a long term career in finance, MBA programs from Harvard, Chicago, Columbia, and Wharton would probably present you with better career opportunities than MITSloan, which is increasingly known for its focus on entrepreneurship, IT and e-commerce, at the expense of its excellent finance programs.
