That whole element of coursework is sadly discounted into oblivion when these discussions get going.

+1 to this. The educational elements of an MBA are VERY important. Networking and rebranding are emphasized much more in MBA programs than they are in undergraduate programs, so people tend to associate those things with the MBA. Still, anyone who doesn't take the coursework seriously is a true idiot. Being able to understand and apply knowledge of a variety of topics is crucial for success in business. People who didn't take it seriously are weeded out pretty quickly.

Thinking about it, taking the GMAT in a couple of weeks. Are you starting an MBA program this fall?

That seems like a pretty big change, lol. You might want to start giving that some serious thought ASAP.
