Thanks for your replies, folks.
I don't plan on ever going back to get an MBA unless my employer tells me to do so. I went to a college with a top 3 MBA program, and I cannot foresee myself going back to someplace like that unless it is for a practical purpose. The reason for this is that I believe an MBA to be completely and utterly worthless because I will learn absolutely nothing that I do not already know....it's like a two year vacation.
This is a pretty unfortunate situation, because it seems to imply that whatever job one accepts coming out of school determines what you will be doing for the rest of your life, unless of course you decide to return to school.
School or surfboards? I think it will be surfboards. See you on the beach.

It's the networking, project, and interning opportunities.
When looking at a grad school (in anything) pick your extra-curricular activities (and I don't mean leisure), then go where they point you.
A few years ago when I was considering MBA programs, I concluded that my personal top 5 schools were Berkeley, Stanford, UCLA, UT-Austin Technology program, and maybe Northwestern after that. In that order.
OTOH, I was more interested in entrepeneurial and technical fileds than management consulting.
