Sagamite:
Thanks, mate.

I would disagree with you slightly here.

The advantage the top schools have over other schools is that they [b]might [/b]be better equiped (teachers, facilities etc), they most likely are tougher to pass at (I know the exam difference btw redbrick unis and others), they have better networks for jobs and you meet, exchange knowledge with top-notch fellow students.

My argument if you look at my earlier posts is that: is this beneficial difference (which does exist) worth the cost difference. In most cases, NO!

The premium they are charging for the beneficial difference is a rip-off. At that cost, I say start your own business or invest your money in a few start-ups (i.e. diversification of risks) that have a future.

You used the right word here and i will also agree with you on the other points.

i was trying to see if there is any justification for the difference is costs here

What is the difference. I did a comparison of the syllabus of Havarad and Uni North Carolina for example and apart from one or two courses they are very similar. So why should i pay 100k for Havard as against 15k for UNCC. What is in the harvard mba that is worth 85k more. certainly not the lecturing because all these top schools are notorious for their rigorous approach to self study and coursework. So if that is the case then i can easily go to a uncc and buy books and study on my own . right. or even just stay in paid employment and buy books that i read on my own and probably do professional courses which actually makes more sense to me

The other angle am also coming from is that since these schools are attendend by very brilliant students the revelance of the better teachers or equiment or networking is very maginal because intellegent students don't rely on beign spoon fed by teachers, they also will 9 out of 10 times perform better in an interview situation. Normally averge schools will have very good equiment for practicals for instance at least at Bsc and Msc levels.

But i will say though that there will be a marked difference at the PHD level. as an example for instance a Phd in Astrophysis is Uni Chicago should be more expensive than MIT . why ? because Uni Chicago has a most advanced space observatory in the world but guess what. it is cheaper than MIt. why ? i have no idea

going back to the MBA , I would probably have supported the 100K cost if these schools admit very academically deficient students and bring them up to par with other very brillant students but as it stands they are reaping what they did not sow .

you are right, the Asians do understand that not all education is the same,  and that's why they try to get into the best schools. They know that comparing an education from MIT with one from the University of Arkansas is like comparing some secondary school like comparing NYU to UNILAG or Loyola Jesuit college Ansarudeen.
Of course, there might be one or two gifted kids that come of out ansarudeen, but seriously does that mean that they are now on the same level. Heck, the kids would have learnt a lot more had they gone to Loyola. My people, the difference is clear.
These guys truly value not just an ordinary education but a truly excellent one.

There is nothing like an excellent tertiary education. Going to an MIT instead of a Uni of florida is not going to improve your intellegence. Whatever you become in this life is 90% of your internal intelligence schools only provide an enabling enviroment for you to nature them. The real business starts when you leave school.
You spend just 4 yrs in a school enviroment and spend the rest of your adult life in the real world. Real world experience is what matters and counts.

Also these asian kids are already smart and they will be just fine if then went to a ny other average school

Pls note that all these ranking business is usually based on reasearch so i will probably regard top school more if you were doing a PHD for example or an M.res but certainly not a Bsc or taught Msc

davidif:
how can someone seriously say that getting an MBA from Texas Southern University or Grand Valley State is the same as getting an MBA from MIT?
