M7 MBAs: What’s the dirty secret or major downside to each school in the M7?

Hey all was wondering what the major downsides are of each one of the M7 schools. If you know about others outside the M7 please feel free to include them as well.

It can be anything about the program whether it's regarding its exit ops into a specific industry, the courses that are required, the attitudes/over-competitiveness of the students, poor extracurriculars offered etc.

Obviously, most of these drawbacks will be relative to other schools that are similarly ranked, no reason to pick on a T50 school for worse exit ops than an M7. Thanks!#mba
