There’s been a lot of discussion, you’d be well served to look for posts from @devinconolly who is attending MIT.

MIT is a fantastic program with a solid grounding in corporate finance, which I think is a gap for a lot of other programs. Provided you already have a strong foundation in math / engineering , that could be a nice complement to your skills. Also, training makes IBD or PE potential destinations.

Columbia MFE is pretty well respected - I don’t know a lot about it though.
 
From what I heard, I think you might have a broader spectrum in terms of finance at MIT but more technical stuff at Columbia.

If you are looking at a technical job I'd go for Columbia, if not necessarily, as Onegin mentioned, MIT is a very interesting option.

But as I told you last time, it also depends what you're looking for during your education and what you want to take from it.
