re: Tulane Law Spinoff Thread: Tulane MBA

Seems to be a steep price when you combine tuition plus two years of lost earnings.

Others can jump in to correct me but I thought the conventional wisdom was a) go if somebody pays for it, like saderade said or b) go if it's a top 15 program. Preferably, c) both.

I agree to an extent and by no means plan on getting my MBA for the sake of getting an MBA. It will be on my own dime unfortunately and I think top 15 is possible, but unlikely. I would need to spend the next year finding ways to beef up my case for admission and really knock the GMAT out of the park.

Basically, I'd like to deviate from my current career path and will only go back to school if it truly will help open doors to a new avenue that is currently shut for me. I think there are worhty schools in the second tier that could open those doors for me - just not sure if Tulane really fits the bill.
