I agree lose the CCIE written as a cert. I'm almost in the same situation as you, but I decided to get my CCIE first then go back and get the MBA. But, the two "certification" lead down two entirely different paths - One is a highly technical field while the other focuses on Business and Accounting and Marketing. Sometimes I feel like they don't necessarly compliment each other. I say if your heavy into tech stuff, have a job in the router field, then get the CCIE first, otherwise don't waste your time, because you'll forget it all if you don't have a job where you use it while going to school.
