I went to Loyola University Chicago, which has the second best MBA program in the midwest



Hmmm… so if Loyola is second, then Kellogg and Chicago GSB are tied for first? I’m sure that Kelley, Mendoza, and Olin would be willing to scrap for second place in the Midwest with Loyola…



I know three people with M.B.A.s who are earning near 70k, alll went to state schools, however two graduated with honors so I’m not sure how much of that played into their salarly and them attaining a job



You do understand that the STARTING median base compensation for MBAs out of the top ~10-ish schools is six figures, right?
I don’t dispute that, for the rest of your life, what you do/accomplish will trump where you went to school. But for the most part, rightly or wrongly, where you start off and your initial trajectory can be heavily influenced by where you obtained your MBA.
