This is really good. I have a question. Would you also consider full time ranking when picking your school? For example, UCLA full time ranking is 14 but Kellogs ranking is pretty high. Do you recommend I pick Kellogs over UCLA if given admission to both?

Do you know of any weekend program for any of these part time school?

I think you definitely want the school with overall better reputation. Rankings are approximate measurements and often include elements that don't matter to students (makes you wonder who these rankings are created for).
The better known school usually wins. Sometimes a local school may have some extra-added value, but people move, so it does not matter that much.


The question is - how are you applying to part time programs in LA and Chicago? Do you have an option to have a job in both places?


P.S. I see the rankings are a bit off - will have them fixed shortly.

Thanks bb. Well I live and work in LA but I was thinking about Kellog's part time Weekend program. I was thinking I can just fly every weekend. I guess some people do that.

Do you think part time evening program is better than that of the weekend one?
I am giving GMAT on Dec 7th and the deadline to apply for weekend part time is somewhere in March.

Btw this website rocks.

Hello All,

I was planning on applying to Washington University. It looks like Saint Louis University is ranked higher than Washington University.

Any suggestions or comparisions

This website really rocks! I just took GMAT and got a score of 760. will write a blog about my experience soon. I'm wondering how Stern is ranked around 20 below many uni's that I've never heard of? Are these rankings reliable?

Welcome to GMAT Club! We hope you find a lot of valuable info for your Applications in here.

As for these rankings, I'd rather give more attention to the standing in separate Rankings (USN vs BW) than to the overall ranking. This table was originally intended to serve as a reference tool of Part Time programs but not the ranking tool. This info will soon be in for major revision. Besides, these USN and BW ranking we used here are specific Part-Time rankings which differ from Full-Time MBA rankings.

You see that Stern was ranked #1 by USN, forget about BW and go with #1 from USN :).
