Just keep in mind that how you "package" yourself - how you market yourself - can make a big difference in what those admissions consultants will say. I posted my profile twice - the first time "Georgetown is a solid choice", the second time (after cleaning up my "message" and brand image) the guy actually said he wouldn't be surprised if I got into Harvard. Thats a major major jump in his opinion - all that changed was how I presented my background.
A 700 puts you within range for any of those schools, and certainly also for others like Chicago, Wharton, Cornell, Kellogg, etc. The thing to remember however is that GMAT is just one tiny tiny piece of the pie, and the 4,572 other variables also matter. How are your extracurriculars, your leadership experience, your progression at work, your writing skills, how clear are your goals, will you have strong recommendatiosn, etc.
The really big question is why part time over full time? Or why full time over part time? The programs are substantially different. Part time programs are well suited for non-career changers. People in Marketing who want ot stay in marketing. People in Consulting who wants to stay in consulting. Full time programs are a much better choice for career switchers because of the internship.
So I'd ask you this: What do you want to do post - MBA?
