[quote=Anonymous]I have worked in career services at a good MBA program (also have an MBA from a top 5).  To be honest, there are two factors - 1) education 2) placement.  Let's be honest - while intellectually stimulating and awesome, education you can get most places.  Yes the professors might be more engaging etc, but you'll get the skills at any good MBA (financial modeling, marketing etc).  Placement is the variable you need to understand.  Have you decided what you want to do post MBA?  that is entirely what should drive this decision.  Average salaries swing wildly from top ranked schools to top 10 to top 20 schools.  Who recruits at those schools also swings wildly.  Before making this decision, I'd think what job do I want, what salary do I want, and what do the schools provide.  Ask about average salary at graduation, top employers, placement statistics (what % has a job at graduation and 3 months out).  Career services at these schools should absolutely be willing to speak with you in detail.  [/quote]
