My 2c is the way it works with MBAs is that you either get a Harvard, Wharton, Chicago, or Stanford MBA, possibly MIT -- or else you go for the regional MBA in the city where you want to work, i.e. Kellogg/NW for Chicago, Foster/UW for Seattle, etc. If you don't know what city that will be, frankly I don't think it matters and I'd go path of least resistance. For example, I'd say all of the Kelly/IU, Duke/Fuqua, UVA/Darden, etc that people think are show-stopping MBAs, I don't think add much marginal value, or any, over a regional where you are networking locally both in and out of class and there are massive alumni populations in the local workplace. Better to get a local MBA than one of those 2nd tier that I mentioned (and I'm including Michigan, UNC, and Florida in this tier).
