You can do a joint MBA/JD program which takes 31/2 to 4 years and cover all your bases.  You do not have to go to Harvard to make over $100,000 a year.  You do have to do well in any law school to get a great job, though there are exceptions.

They are all very prestigious and fairly good at what they do.  All are fairly well respected.\n\nMIT:  THE top of the hard mathlike sciences and most Eng (eg, Comp Sci, EE, ChemE, etc).  Has fairly good liberal arts in particular philosophy and linguistics with big names.  However, MIT has never been exclusive and has no athletic scholarships, legacies, etc and suffers in overall prestige because of that.\n\nHarvard:  THE top "old boy's school".  Historically has been very exclusive with mainly legacies, donors etc adding to the prestige mystique.  REALLY good for medicine, law, etc and strong in everthing else.  If you're going for science, though, go to MIT since most students cross register and take a few courses there anyway!  It  just down the road.\n\nPrinceton > Stanford in terms of prestige.  I can't think of anyting in particular where they top the other two, but they are fairly strong and ranked up there .\n\nIf you're looking for a general undergrad experience I would go for Stanford.  It may be the least prestigous but in terms of education, it offers the best depth and breadth so you're sure to get a solid foundation regardless of what you want.  \n\nIn order I would pick Stanford > Harvard > Princeton for college/undergrad.  MIT is not included because it may not offer the best breadth, but if you're into hard science and technology, none of them can really compete.  (If you had mentioned Caltech, that might have been a different story :P).

yes, several folks i know have done fine. one is a project manager another is a facilities manager. you will have to work harder and smarter than others but that's how i have done well without the mba that most people in my profession have. \n\non the other hand, i recommend you pick it up at some point since i really does open a lot of doors that otherwise would be closed.

Definitely a 4.0, but you have to offer much more then good grades on your transcript (extra curricular activities, sports, leadership... anything that really stands out). They're looking for people with a wide range of talents. Its sad, but its true if your a women you'll have a better chance, and if your ethnographic. Harvard is one of the absolute most prestigious university's to get into... but there are plenty other well respected colleges that aren't as competitive to get admission.

If you have had strong training in accounting, economics, and stats you should be good.  Good MBA programs are very quantitatively intensive.

Not an Ivy league, probably, but there are plenty of very respectable students that would take you. \n\nThere must be at least 200 - 300 good schools with business programs that you could check out. Go to the College room at your school guidance office, or to your local library and ask the librarian to help you find some reference sources on Colleges of Business. There are lots to choose from, and the college selection books will tell you a lot of facts so that you can make a good choice.

First off, I went to Harvard.\nSecond off, I want to respond to the first asnwer on here, who talks about how the "Ivy leage was founded upon traditions of excellend, yada yada yada"\n\nlet me make this clear:\nTHE IVY LEAGUE IS NOTHING MORE THAN AN ATHLETIC CONFERENCE\nThat's all it is.\n"Ivy Leage" does not really mean anything about academics.\n\nIt just happens that all the Ivy League schools are very good.\nBut they are not equal.\nHarvard, Yale, and Princeton are consistently among the top 5 Unversities in the country.\nColumbia, Brown, Princeton, and UPenn are usually in the top 20 or so.\nCornell is not considered as strong.\nThere are several private universities which are better than some of the Ivies, and several State schools which are better than some of the Ivies.\n\nI don't mean to be obtuse about this, but I think the "Ivy League" has kind of a false reputation. People need to realize that all it really means is that those 8 schools compete against each other in sports, and that together, they are not the pinnacle of higher education. People should look at individual schools.\n\nNow, to actually answer your question about workload.\nI didn't actually feel that the workload at Harvard was that particularly difficult. And having spoken to my friends at several othe universities, including big state schools, I really don't think Harvard is any more difficult than they are.\nIn fact, I think some state schools are probably HARDER than Harvard. That's because at Harvard its VERY hard to flunk out. Pretty much the lowest possible grade you can get is a C. No one at Harvard gets Ds or Fs. Why is this? Is it because Harvard students are just naturally smart? Maybe... But many Harvard students, once they reach Harvard, develop bad study habits...just like students anywhere else. Many of them turn in sub-par work. A bad Harvard essay that gets a C could easily get a D or an F at a state school. That's because harvard wants to keep its retention rates and graduation rates high, and because most people are paying lots of money to be there.\nState schools dont care if they flunk people out, because their mission is to education the young people of the state, and there are always lots more who would be happy to take the place of those who flunk out.\n\nThat said, there's a lot of variability. Arizona State is probably easier than Berkeley. \n\nBut professors are professors, and no matter where they teach, they generally expect high quality work of students, or else they hand out poor grades.\n\nSo, in conclusion:\nI think the difference in difficulty between Ivies and state schools is neglible.\n\nRemember, too, that there is a huge range in difficulty between different departments within the same university.\nScience and engineering tends to be harder in grading than humanities. Thats a fact, whether you're talking about Harvard OR Arizona State.

Generally, if a school has a good graduate program in the field you're interested in, then they also have an outstanding undergraduate program too, since most of the same professors will be teaching your upper division classes.  My advice is to check out US News - here's the link to their top 50 MBA schools:  http://www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/grad/rankings/mba/brief/mbarank_brief.php\n\nGranted, most of the schools in the top 20 are private schools, but if a school makes this list at all, odds are it's a pretty good one.

I can think of at least one American President that got an MBA from Harvard.  Come to think of it, he is the current President.

Depends on where you are getting your MBA.  My husband got his at a good school and just started a pretty good job, his brother did not go to a good school and makes 28 thousand a year.

Harvard, definitely. The opportunities that degree and department will offer and the doors it will open after graduation can't be underestimated.

That depends on whether you want a traditional or an executive MBA program.  Traditional high rankers in the USA are Harvard, Columbia, Wharton.  In Europe Insead and London Business School are always high ranking.\n\nI think the best benchmark for MBA rankings is the annual survey by Financial Times.  Most business school promote their rankings - if they score well!  My school ranked in the top 50 and promoted the heck out of it.\n\nThe FT.com website has all the current and historical information.

It depends on what you mean by a good university.  There are a lot of good academic schools, but dont just focus on the ivy league.  Small private schools are often very good and have smaller classes and more personal attention. Big state schools can be really good academically but there are a ton of people. There are also good party schools like Wisconsin at Madison, athletic schools, etc.
