Depends on what your definition of "not so popular college" is...If it's DeVry, Univ of Phoenix, or one of those that is similar, you probably have a tough road ahead of you trying to get into b-schools of that caliber. There is a certain stigma that comes with the aforementioned schools and it's bc of the, real or perceived, lack of academic rigor required from those schools. A 3.6 GPA from DeVry won't be treated the same as even a 3.2 GPA from a school like UT, USC, UF, etc...Your best bet is always to talk to an admissions counselor about your specific situation. Also, to say that some of these schools are less selective with their online/part time programs isn't true at all. University of Florida internet MBA, for example, is MORE competitive than their full time program bc they limit their cohort size to 65 each term. UNC, one of the schools on your list, holds you to the same standards online as if you were on campus - these top schools HAVE to be just as selective, if not more selective, in their online offerings so as not to diminish their brands.
