This is a very interesting discussion to have. The press has been decidedly bad lately on the online programs, pointing specifically to their recruiting habits, but that might have blemished the good with the bad. The question is does the online MBA program provide any distinction from a recruiting ...

Second the reply above -- can't overemphasize the value you bring to the program. You need to show how the student body at large will be better off/progressed by the experience you bring.
