My Russian friend who studied an MBA last year told me that the hardest part of the process for him was passing the GMAT with a sufficiently high score that he could get into the school of his choice. He did well on the quantitive part of the test, but getting his English sentence construction up to scratch was really difficult.
He also commented that he really needed those skills when he came to do much of the work on his MBA. And for an online MBA these skills are even more important, as you need to be able to communicate so well on "paper".
