I am trying to determine the following:
1. Is an MBA worth me getting now?
2. Is the school going to matter for the money?
I am 40 and I am looking at applying to Sloan ($150K), Tepper($120K), Johnson($130K) and McCombs($100K). I currently support a family and hold a management position in technology. I am currently making $160K (only because it is relevant in the earning payoff of the degree) and looking at non full time MBA due to work. I wanted to get opinions on the items above. My goal with the MBA is to achieve CIO or CTO in a fortune 1000 company but I am not sure if the investment is going to pay off at ($130K over 10 yr a 6.8% = $1500/mo). I have 20 years experience in IT with 10 of it in management. If I was able to get into EMBA at Wharton ($180K) would it be worth it? My GMAT is 720 and UGPA is 3.5. My resume , experience etc. should boost my chances as well.

Hi - I think you're on the right track in focusing in on an EMBA. There are several good programs/schools out there. Which ones you apply to will depend mostly on your work experience (and I would need to see your resume to evaluate that). A lot of the EMBA programs have a dedicated staff member that prescreens candidates so if the schools you're looking at offer that option you should take advantage of it (make sure your resume and goals are airtight before you do though). If that means getting a resume rewrite done - so be it.
If your ambition is to be in the c-suite then an EMBA from the right school could be a very good idea. But again, at the EMBA level the situation is much more case by case than for people who are still 2-4 years post-undergrad so reach out to a consultant that can help you frame the situation.
