US overrated, your post contradicts itself. You start off claiming that US MBAs are overrated, which obviously is not proven because the most highly paid MBA grads are top US ones (Harvard and Penn and company). But strangely as you progressed in your post, you tried to promote the local ones that have tie-ups with US universities, saying its merit is that it gives a US perspective. It's like you are clearly desperate for the US connection, yet started off sliming US universities. Must be of the local farmers in local universities. Typical.

It's common knowledge that local unis try desperately to bootlick and apple polish top foreign names, many times end up snubbed. And the only time any top US name gives a damn is when the government throws truckloads of money into financing 'joint' projects.

Hey free holiday in the tropics and a banker that looks too eager to accede to anything I want if I would give it a little attention and time of day. Why not man?
