[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a huge cost difference with exec MBA vs regular. And it's not like you get much more from the exec MBA. Sounds like OP has 2 good options and shouldn't go the exec route.

When I did my MBA, I went to a top 20 school. It is no longer in that bucket. So I don't put a ton of stock in those rankings. The makeup of your classmates and recruiting opportunities are far more important. If the unranked school is in the city you want with the recruiting you want, that sounds like a no brainer to pick that one.[/quote]

I guess part of the problem is, I think, that there are not very many recruiters who go to the unranked school -- students get jobs by going out and networking, from what I can tell; the ranked school has 200 or 300 recruiters come (can't remember exact numbers now). Also important (and I just looked into this again last night) is that at the unranked school, 37% have jobs at graduation; at the ranked school 89% have jobs at graduation. 3 months out, 76% have jobs at the unranked school, whereas 95% have jobs at the ranked school. That seems like a pretty big (and important) difference. [/quote]
