Hi,
Debating between full time applications in R1 2016 (mix of top 15 schools), or applying to a few part time programs this May, for start in fall 2016 (mainly Booth, Georgetown, NYU). Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
Profile is as follows:
- small liberal arts undergrad, 3.4GPA, political science degree, varsity baseball team
- 1.5yrs on a political campaign, showed growth through work load and promotions
- 2 yrs at a small direct service non-profit, again showed growth through promotions, left as the Director of Development, can speak to increased budget as a result of my time there
- 3 yrs at a non-profit impact investment fund, two promotions and have shown internal and external leadership. Externally, was elected the youngest ever Board Member for our national industry association. Also serve as a Board Member for two additional organizations.
- GMAT is a weak spot, have taken it once (low 600's), hoping for high 600's when I take it again.

Thanks for sharing your profile.
Some major factors to consider are what you would want to do Post-MBA, and related to this, how taking a break from your work by doing a full-time MBA would impact your current career track, would you have to forego interesting opportunities that would be difficult to come by in the near future?
A full-time MBA would be a more immersive experience, and would allow you to be active with clubs and extracurricular activities. On the other hand, a part-time MBA, assuming you continue to be active with your current organization, would fill up your days with not as much room for other activities.
For your applications, showing the scale of responsibilities and accomplishments, and how this helps prepare you for the post MBA goal would be helpful in delivering a convincing Admissions how an MBA would benefit you, and how you can contribute to the experience of your peers.
Wish you all the best on the GMAT and the applications!
