[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where one earns an MBA is most important IF looking to change careers OR change employers after just a few years of post undergraduate degree work experience.

Ignore anyone who tries to tell you that Harvard, Stanford, & UPenn-Wharton are better than Northwestern-Kellogg or Chicago-Booth.

In certain situations a program may be best suited for one's chosen career path; for example, NYU, UPenn-Wharton, Columbia, and Chicago are great for finance;

Northwestern-Kellogg is, and has been for many decades, the best for marketing;

Supply Chain Management top MBA programs are MIT, Michigan State, Penn State, and ASU (Arizona State).

Production/Operations types should consider MIT-Sloan & Carnegie Mellon-Tepper and a few others.

For an MBA in accounting: the University of Texas at Austin & Univ. of Illinois are outstanding.

However, most of us think of an MBA as a Management degree. The best MBA programs for Management are Harvard, Stanford, Northwestern-Kellogg, and UPenn-Wharton. Dartmouth-Tuck MBAs do extremeley well in this area also.

There are other concentrations such as non-profit and international.

The younger the student, the more important it is to have a name brand MBA because young MBA students lack in real world post undergraduate work experience.

The old rule was to get an MBA at an M-7 program: Harvard, Stanford, Wharton, Northwestern-Kellogg, Chicago-Booth, Columbia, or MIT. Things are changing a bit as employers want MBA who are tech-savvy.

Harvard & Stanford & Wharton stay a bit above the rest of the elite MBA programs in part because none of these 3 offer a part-time MBA option.

Wrong, Wharton has a part-time online MBA.
(Harvard, Stanford, and Tuck are the only B schools without a part-time MBA.)

I wrote the post that you quoted and that you incorrectly asserted was wrong.

I wonder if you are confusing Wharton's Executive MBA Program with a part-time MBA program ? However, if you can link us to any part-time Wharton MBA program I will thank you & apologize.
