Having an undergrad in business has less to do with it than what you want to do post MBA. If you are planning on changing careers then you are going to want a 2 year program because of the internship. The internship isnt important if you want to stay in the same field so then the 1year is a good program.

What are your career goals?

Pretty much every alum or student I have talked to discussed how the internship is one of the most valuable parts of a fulltime MBA. Consider what you want to get out of your MBA. If you dont have a marketing background and are planning on changing into it then you really should look closer at 2 year programs.

I second what river said, and you'll probably get the same story from Accepted.com or "MBA Game Plan".

2 year program sounds more useful for you to switch career functions. And a 700 score is almost necessary unless you have unique work experience, have done something extraordinary (Mt. Everest, saved children in Africa, etc...), or are in an underrepresented category.

Hope that helps!
