So, so true. So many schools offer MBAs, and they're not all created equal. Unfortunately, a lot of people aren't that informed, and they think that their Cowtown University MBA is equivalent to a Stern/Columbia/HBS/Stanford MBA, and take out a ton of loans, expecting the same respect that someone who took a challenging program receives. Joke's on them, really.
