Non Top Rank MBA

Hi all,

For those who who may not have the target undergrad or post-grad resume to get into a top program, is it so detrimental to go to a lower ranked MBA given I am not looking to get into a "high finance" role. Based on location and cost, a school like Rutgers or Villanova would interest me. I would not be looking to go into IB or PE and would like to climb the ranks within more of a corporate role. Is lower program still not worth it?
