more than half of recruiters said they believe the quality of mba graduates is the same or better currently compared with past years. some of the most renowned schools, such as harvard and stanford, do not rank as highly as their stature might suggest. recruiters complain that they often find graduates of some of the most famous institutions more arrogant and less collegial than the mbas they meet at other schools. recruiters also noted that "some of the large, elite schools also don't seem to enjoy as many close, personal relationships with recruiters as smaller mba programs do."
