Just a warning, this crowd might be a little bias. I think we're all giving up somewhat decent salary to go to a top 10 school.
It might be better to ask people who already graduated, or maybe where you want to be in 5 years.
Agreed. Everyone is biased to some degree, myself included.
One more thing to ask yourself: Why are you interested in getting an MBA? If it was for a shot at big time banking or consulting, you may be advised to wait due to the economy. I know that's what I want, and I am waiting.
If it is for general educational purposes, self improvement, long-term value, to break into general management/stay in the same industry or role -- then you should just go for it. You'll reap the benefits more at an earlier age.
And of course, you have to grapple with your age, your personal life situation, how happy you would be with the new job, and everything else that we probably won't be able to help much with.
