Several years back I did a semester of the MBA program at Tsinghua University as part of a (now discontinued) Australian government scholarship program. One of my main takeaways from that experience was finding out that disciplines such as marketing and sales had far more rigor than I previously realised. Coming from a technical background it was easy to be dismissive of these fields. From that perspective, I think your point 2 is likely to be where you get the most value. I'd also add a point 5. the alumni network and all the networking advantages that provides. At a top-tier program, your classmates will likely go on to be movers and shakers in their industries, though it might take quite some time to manifest.
