i know quite a few people who are working on their mba from the top 5 (columbia, wharton, and sloan), and i can tell you from their first hand experience it's tough as hell right now. Most gave up good jobs (in financial IT) to goto b school expecting to work in investment banking after getting out, which is the norm before this mess. But nowdays, even getting an internship is next to impossible.
They all give up trying to work in the financial industry now and are looking in other sectors. One just got an offer to intern in cisco.
Who knows what will happen long term, a lot of people now believes mba (which is sort of a bull**** degree to begin with) doesnt hold as much value, and the core degrees (scientist, doctors, etc..) are more valued investments.
Dont know the mba programs in the colleges you mentioned too well, but i know tempa is a fun campus
