[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No.  Grad school, maybe.  But for grad school, if you are a top candidate you should be getting a fellowship or something.  [b]If you're not a top candidate, you ought to rethink going to grad school[/b].[/quote]

Wow, what a stupid generalization. Totally depends on the grad program as to whether or not fellowships are common.[/quote]

Perhaps it is a generalization but it has some validity - at least in some fields. As a manager who has hired a fair number of applicants with a MBA, I can tell you categorically that a MBA from a school that is not within the top fifteen has limited value in terms of it being a selling point. Now there may be other factors such as the individual's experience pre-MBA that may offer an edge.

I do advise those who work for me to think long and hard about whether they want to expend the time and resources towards a MBA from a lesser known school.[/quote]

So should all other MBA programs close their doors since they are "worthless" degrees? Have you ever sat in on a class at a lower ranked MBA program. Not all good professors can teach at these "top" schools. You have have fallen into the "ranking" mindset.[/quote]
