Congratulations on your awesome admits and fingers crossed for the Anderson FEMBA. Awesome and strong profile!

Are you looking to work from LA? It seems like it.
I am sure you know this but the FEMBA --> Consulting path is more muted and tricky as you often do not have a chance to do an internship in the summer. Also much of the success depends on attending various recruiting events with MBB's at least and you will likely be unable to meet that kind of a schedule commitment while having a job, though easier if you are running your own business in the background, but if that's what you are doing to do, why not go for the full time experience?

I have a 9-5 I am committed to staying in during my MBA program. I'd love to live in LA, but live in NYC right now and don't HAVE to move, though I'm not going to lie, I was ready to get out of the city. Not sure if Cornell's Metro NY EMBA or UCLA FEMBA is a better fit.... any thoughts?

Awesome! Congrats on your admits!
If these are EMBA's you would be sticking with your location most likely? Would you be looking for a job in LA? or just Traveling there for weekends/classes? (There are a few formats).

I would say that your classmates and your network would be a big factor for your recruiting/transition if you are planning to recruit during/after EMBA into a new role, so if your networking is pick the program that is going to be where you plan to be AFTER the MBA as it will help with networking and connecting with people (which is most how you will find a job).
