I'd argue he's overlooking some schools. Notably Chicago and Columbia, but also Duke, Dartmouth, and Berkeley. I'd also say Rice and Texas if you'd like to work in energy financing, USC and UCLA if entertainment is your game, and regional programs your employer, should they be so kind, might help you pay for, especially if your background is in science or engineering and you'd like to rebrand yourself. But the underlying point holds: It's not the golden ticket it used to be. It's primarily for consultants and bankers these days, and those aren't sectors that hire far and wide. They want brand names that'll impress their clients who probably attended brand name MBA programs themselves.
