Don't have any opinion but it's probably either Bentley, Babson, BC, BU or NorthEastern. I'd take a look at where their students go and if that meshes with your long-term goals.
FWIW, many people consider MBA only worth it if you're doing M7 (granted that is largely dependent on your post-MBA goals which are skewed on this forum).
So is it not worth it if I get am MBA from BU or BC? (Goal is to start a career in corp finance)
Again, specific to your situation and post-MBA goals, but would argue that the old M7 or bust has largely become T14/16 or bust. For example, IB and MBB used to largely be reserved for those 7 but now find their way with OCR and significant placement throughout the top 16. While HBS/GSB (maybe Wharton too) are in a tier of their own with respect to PE, etc. the rest will have similar opportunities. To that end, though not in Mass, Tuck would be the best non M7 option for the Boston area.
What type of career in finance are you looking for? If IB, any top 16 will set you up well. If corp banking/corp fin/private wealth, extend that even further to ~top 25. From that point it's all circumstantial.
Can I start a career in corp finance with an MBA from BU or BC?
If I understand the question correctly, you are looking to stay in MA but recognize that you do not need to attend HBS or MIT to reach your goals. Depending on the specifics of those goals, you may want to look at Babson, BC, BU and Northeastern.
A few considerations. If you are interested in investment management, look at the universities that are affiliated with the [CFA Institute][] . Northeastern offers a 'Corporate Residency' which is a 6 month paid internship as part of the curriculum.
Figure out what your goals are then back into which program (and format) is best to get you there.
Wishing you the best on your MBA application journey. Susan
