i am just starting to look into business school and mba progs. i cant afford the really expensive programs but i also dont want to get burned by a sscam school. are there any obvious signs of a scam MBA?

i have found a few i think...
- they dont ask/care about your lack of work experience
- there is no photo of the actual campus or the students, just cheesy stock photographs instead
- they give you your payment options like paypal right there on the homepage

Here's some more off the top of my head:

- Don't require the GMAT;
- Misspellings and poor grammar;
- No accreditations or partnerships.

no interviews..
you get striaght away offer letter...
different types of mba available...simply money suckers :)

I saw one website that advertised "Earn your degree now WITHOUT STUDYING AT ALL! NO BOOKS!"

Yeah I would avoid that one.
