Credit Fund to Elite MBA?

I'm currently an associate at a mid-sized credit fund (think CLO's, distressed). I am thinking about applying to business schools next summer and would only go to school if I get into M7. I don't really have a preference which school specifically, just the best school I can get into.

This route doesn't seem too common, as only a few of my colleagues have MBA's. So I'm curious if I should even consider the MBA route if I'm not really looking to change careers.

Anyone out there take this track? Thoughts and advice much appreciated.

I'm talking about liquid. Rich enough to have your own jet. Rich enough not to waste time. Fifty, a hundred million dollars, buddy. A player. Or nothing. See my Blog & AMA
