Do you think too many part-time students (in thousands) will greatly lower the true value of full-time MBA program, just like NYU? To my knowledge, rarely does NYU have students who are invited to all sorts of Wall Street real projects, but in CBS, things are totally different, although NYU stays only steps away from the Street. (I don't want to deny UChicago GSB's reputation here. Actually I'm applying to it and have scheduled an Alumnus interview next week.)

Thanks in advance.

wow, pumpkin is still around? and getting prettier?...nice...i felt like i still want to go back and read your stuff abt how to prepare gmat. good work.

hi vagabond, i actually think your question is a valid one- and i don't know the answer to that. in general, part-time student, as they have more working experience, treat mba degree differently. they tend to balance their life and career goal with mba and maximize the outcome. for me, i don't want to switch my career to an entirely different area, also i want to apply what i learn from the class to real life experience spontaneously - that's the reason i chose part-time. financial situation is another concern. so i added all these factors together and came to my conclusion. as far as comparing to the full time, i think younger people should definitely try the full time program. it offers a more curriculum-concentrated environment and better opportunities to make a career change. - just my two cents, welcome the discussion..

Great answer! That covers what I was about to say. As a full-timer at the school, I find most classmates to be career switchers, and that's why they need a condensed program. Having been to some recent alumni events, I actually find the variety of programs offered is an advantage to the school, as it attracts a more diversified and high-caliber candidate pool. And the professors can get more up-to-date feedback through teaching people who are actively involved in solving real-life problems. (Our marketing teacher once mentioned there's a difference in the quality of classroom participation between full- and part-time classes, since the latter class have a clearer idea of what they want.)

The only bad thing is that since we have classes on campus, and part-timers and executive MBAs have theirs downtown, we don't have much chance to meet each other.

Finally, tyghbn, congrats on your admission! Have you decided yet? (Or waiting to hear from the other school before making up your mind? ;-)
