I am an IT management professional with 8+ yrs of work experience with substantial leadership experience & consistent growth trajectory in my profile so far. I am currently designated as an IT Director & Client Partner located in Memphis TN, and have been rated among the top 2% performers.
At this juncture of my career, I am considering a Part-Time or Online MBA option but need some guidance in selecting the school. I am yet to take my GMAT test but am targeting a score of 680-700+
Personally I have a very strong inclination towards the top rated schools like Chicago Booth, Kellogs, Kelly, UNC, Carnegie Melon, etc. However, considering my existing growth opportunities in the current company with a $90+K compensation, will there be an ROI of shooting for the top schools spending $100K+ tution fees or should I rather settle in for a decent school within the $40-60K range?
Its not that I am not open for changing jobs after the MBA, but so far I have had good growth this my current employer. I am not being able to decide between a ranked MBA with huge tuition fees v/s mid-ranked MBA with affordable expenses. My current employer does not have sponsorship policies, so the expense is definitely a factor for me. But at the same time, I do not want to make a mistake in judging the best ROI for my career going forward.
Any guidance will be highly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Well first things first: always always go to the best school you can get into. The payoff is always there. Even in PT programs.
Buuut reading through your profile and given that your company doesn't offer sponsorship, I am wondering why you have chosen a PT program (and not a FT one) to fit your goals? Does your company wish you to have this degree? Will you have the possibility of getting a promotion because you hold an MBA?
Hope this helps,
Jon

Thank you for reading through my profile! The primary reason I am shooting for a PT program is because I cannot afford to quit my current job on financial ground.
As far as my growth prospects are concerned, MBA is not really an immediate requisite from my current employer but I believe it will reap value when I get picked for positions in senior mgmt/pre-sales (likely in another 2 yrs). Post the MBA I would also like to look at better employment opportunities specifically in Mktg areas like Brand Mgmt. (unless I get similar or better offers within my current company).
Thanks again!
