One more thing to keep in mind while deciding when to inform your company is the annual review cycle. If your company allocates only certain amount of money for the bonus per team, telling your superiors before the review pretty much means you will get no raise and no bonus (it will be distributed to other team members).
Getting that last raise and a bonus is important because it will give you a better position to argue for the post MBA salary.
Now, I plan to leave in the first week of June. I will tell my manager(s) that I am leaving one week after the review cycle is over. This way they will have enough time to find a replacement for me, and I will have enough time to train that replacement. My engineers, however, will not know that I am leaving until last week of May. The reason for this is that I don't want them to experience extra stress due to uncertainty in the management, plus they will not gain anything from knowing that I am leaving the team. Of course I really like working here, have good relationships with everyone and consider returning here post MBA.

I will be giving the standard 2-week notice in 6 weeks, making my last day May 4th. The company I work for has absolutely no loyalty to its employees so I don’t feel obligated to show any additional courtesy. My boss wrote my recommendation so she should have been able to figure it out but I’m pretty sure she has no idea what b-school is since she’s an M.D. from another country who made a transition to the business world later in life. If I were to give more than 2-weeks I’m almost positive my work environment would change and they would begin to discount me by saying “his heart’s not in it anymore” or some non-sense. That having been said, all my employees and peers know I’ll be leaving so it will only be a bit of a shock to the higher-ups. We’re all replacable though, so I’m sure everything will work out just fine and they won’t be angry or anything, just a bit surprised.

The posts on here make me think that my company is more unique than I had thought. At my firm, people at my level are expected to go back to school after a few years, so HR has known about my MBA plans since this process started wayyyy back in summer 2009. I even committed to leaving this year, so I wouldn't have a job if I didn't get into school, which definitely lit a fire under my butt. That being said, I do agree with most here that a month's notice should be reasonable, depending on the timeframe of your commitments and how long you've been with your company.
