re: Making MBA Choice in Next Few Weeks. Advice Needed

Another consideration...where do you want to live? Lower ranked MBAs are recognized locally much more than nationally, so this will help you get the most out of the recruitment opportunities.

Again, figure out the companies you want to work for and then find out which programs they recruit. Basically, you just work backwards to ID the schools that make the most sense for what you are trying to accomplish.

How much work experience do you have right now? After about 5-6 years of experience, executive MBA programs can really start making more sense depending on your earning potential right now and how comfortable you are in your current position. In short, weekend, in-person programs allow you to continue work while still gaining the personal component of the degree. It can be tough on your personal life though to be gone a lot of weekends and always doing schoolwork during free time.

I'll be going to FT MBA route in the next 2-3 years, but I am still very early in my career and my earning potential still has years to peak (less opportunity cost of taking two years off from working).
