<p>MBA</a> Salaries at Top Business Schools</p>
<p>From Wharton in UPenn, a median starting salary of $145,000</p>
<p>Which means you can graduate at 24, and make THAT much. </p>
<p>It made me smile. =)</p>
<p>P.S- (Wharton has a program in which exceptional students can get their masters at the same time as their bachelors and graduate with both degrees in 4-5 years)</p>
<p>What the...you're saying you can get your bachelors AND your MBA in 4-5 years? How in the world do you enter a top MBA program like that with no prior work experience? I ask because work experience is just as important as GPA and GMAT scores when entering a top MBA program. Seems kinda too good to be true.</p>
<p>BUMP.</p>
<p>are these salary figures inflated? </p>
<p>i mean do MBA grads from the top tier schools really make 150K?</p>
<p>You need to have years of work experience to enter an MBA program..</p>
<p>You can't graduate at 24 with an MBA as you need to have work experience first. Average age of MBA students is 28, and average work experience is 5 years, so down boy.</p>
<p>This ain't law school.</p>
<p>maybe we should all just bow down to wharton...
The</a> Wharton School - Undergraduate Division</p>
<p>Well, actually, you CAN get in, say, Harvard Business School, without prior work experience.. It occurs a lot more often than you think, I guess (promising students getting admitted right after college) ... And you could do internships and stuff during summers to get some experience.</p>
<p>Screw business school. You need work experience and you come out making so-so amounts.</p>
<p>law school is the way to go. Go to a top 14 law school and graduate with a good class rank/gpa and get on law review, $160,000 starting salary at biglaw firms. </p>
<p>Of course, if you go to a crap law school, $45,000 per year starting. But the same with crappy business schools too.</p>
<p>Wharton > Harvard Law School :P</p>
