Purely depends on my goals/position at the time. If I just need an MBA to advance in my career, I'd be fine with getting one part-time from the local college.

If I'm looking to do a traditional program, Fuqua TBH. I'm in undergraduate business school right now and I don't need to learn the material again. Minor exception for McCombs if I'm in TX.

MM IB -> Corporate Development -> Strategic Finance
 

Brady is back?!?!

Stern/Fuqua/Yale SOM is the lowest I would go.

I subscribe to the line of thinking that a school in the top 10-15 will give you most of the same initial opportunities. For me, the brand name is just the icing on the cake.
