MBA programs and accreditation

[Q]

I see there are many different 'boards', or whatever you want to call them, that validate MBA programs.
Seems the standard, national one is AACSB-International. Is this the accreditation that you 'need' to have (most desired) or are the more regional / smaller boards just fine as well?

I just took the GMAT and am looking into options in my state, and have come across some that are AACSB, some aren't listed, and others list another, regional board. I just want to make sure my money (if I decide to go) is worth. Thanks.

The B-school I went to was AACSB accredited.

What was your GMAT score?

If you're concerned about getting your money's worth...it probably won't make sense to go to a MBA program unless its top-20...maybe even top-15/10.

If you have to ask, that probably means you're looking at lower tier schools...

Mine was accredited by AACSB - The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.

OP how old are you and when did you graduate? Do you have any job experience?

Just asking because I am also looking to get into an MBA program but the one that I really want to get in (NYU - Stern School of Business) requires some sort of professional experience and recommendations.
