As someone looking to get into consulting post-grad and currently disappointed in their MBA program (full time, 2nd semester of 4), what would you do in my position? Push on through? Or go back to work and reapply to “better” programs? I do not feel I’m learning anything and the professors are not the level that the tuition suggests.

What program?
What consulting organizations target said program? Where have alumni went after graduation. I feel consulting is still one of the most common careers for MBA’s across the board

Focus on the recruiting opportunities, not classroom learning. If your program is ranked high enough, and there's a pipeline into consulting, you should still be able to get a consulting job.

Nobody pop quizzes you on 3rd semester advanced econometric modeling when you're in the real world.
