Should a person seek to get an MBA from a more highly-ranked school than where that person completed undergraduate studies? A lot my undergrad classmates (top-25 university) are getting MBAs from a less-well rated private university.

It depends what you want to get out of it. Do you just want the knowledge or do you want the prestige as well?

I will say this, if you don't have an MBA from a top 15 school, your employment options are drastically reduced. That being said, if you're doing your own start-up and you want a well-rounded business education, does it matter that much?
