Is it worth going to non T25 schools for MBA?

Have been reading this forum for a while now. The common perspective here is that if you want to be an IB associates/go into consulting you better go to M7 or T15 at a minimum. I am just wondering if there is any point doing an MBA at a non-T25 school? Say if I just want to work in corp dev and would like to have the MBA experience (and the small CV boost)?

In other words, what are the lowest ranked/weakest schools you will attend?

T25 or don't do the MBA.
