Prestigious Part-time MBA or Middle Tier Full-time MBA?

Is it better to attend a prestigious part-timeMBA(想想密歇根州,纽约州,甚至西北)或中级全职MBA(think Ohio State, Vanderbilt, Minnesota, Texas A&M)? E-MBA is not something I'm interested in. ~650 GMAT and my company is very willing to allow me to take last minute time off to attend events. Currently in FinTech, hoping to pair this experience with more financial gig.

Hey thomr - did you get any good intel on your question here? Im curious to hear what you think now. Im mostly in the same situation, leaning towards going to NYU PT for the brand name. Let me know!

Depends on your goals? Are you trying to pivot careers or stay at your current job? Are you looking to recruit for MBB? Because that will be difficult no matter wherever you go.

If you're trying to pivot toIB,然后我将全职在一所中学学校。竞争IBis pretty low now and you should be able to get interviews. I'm not saying you are going to show up and getBB采访,我只是说如果您投入工作,那么您可能会接受一些面试。

Have you considered going overseas for yourMBA(如果您获得的主要原因是“选中框”)?使用650 GMAT,您可能可以在一群海外学校获得体面的奖学金MBA. No, they won't really help for recruiting into a prestigious US job, but neither will going to a random US school like Texas A&M, Ohio State, etc. And that way you'll at least have a cool story to tell and get to spend some time overseas, meeting new people, doing new things, etc.

It depends on your goals and timing. I suspect that a more prestigious part-timeMBA适合账单。您将获得与全职工作者相同的程度,并且可以访问职业中心和校友网络。根据您是否在参加兼职的同一城市生活/工作,您可以去客串演讲者参与俱乐部。

Wishing you the best as you figure out next steps!

Forget going full time for a mid-level full-timeMBA(think Ohio State, Vanderbilt, Minnesota, Texas A&M), it's not worth dropping 2 years of salary and paying full price.

You can focus on a full time abroad, or a lower ranked T15 program. If not, I would suggest the part-timeMBAsyou listed (Michigan, NYU, maybe even Northwestern) as it will mean more for your entire career (though PTMBAmakes a career change tough if you need to do so).

RedWhiteAndBlue, what's your opinion? Comment below:

I recruited successfully from a PT program for M&A. It is certainly much harder as a PT student, but is doable, especially if you have prior finance experience and can tell a good story. That said, recruiting for summer associate positions has been much easier through Covid because many of the early/mid fall events were remote with only close list dinners etc. requiring in-person attendance. I was able to do coffee chats primarily in the evenings (expect 5-10 per bank) and would do the evening events remotely via zoom.

I chose PT over a T15FT计划,并为没有获得完整的经验,尤其是事物的社会方面感到遗憾,但是为了就业,我认为任何BBIBor boutique is achievable with the例外GS/MS or someelite boutiques. Most bankers I spoke with seemed to be impressed I was able to balance work/school/job. I also had friends from my program recruit successfully forMBBinternships. I think the PT/FT在这个论坛上,事情被夸大了。如果您是一个很好的候选人并做腿部工作,那么您将取得成功。也就是说,一些银行家仍然要求我的GPA/GMAT,所以我要说的是您要重新夺回直到700岁以上,所以不能对您不利。

同意。目前正在制作最佳PT计划,看来您说您无法转换职业或获得像IBor management consultingfrom a part time are ones that have no direct knowledge of these programs.

You can definitely get these jobs if you put in the effort. The career/recruiting staff want to help you get the best job possible and I have noticed no favoritism for full time students over part time in on campus recruiting.
