I live in the Chicago area, so there are some great schools to consider. I know it will be hard to judge without a GMAT score, but I wanted to get your opinion on how good or bad my profile looks. All of the programs that I will be applying to will be part-time programs. I will be applying to Northwestern (Kellogg), DePaul, Loyola University of Chicago, and University of Chicago (Booth). I am also curious if the part-time MBA programs at the listed schools will be easier to get into than the full-time.
Thank you very much.
You're right that the part-time programs are a little easier to get into. Your academic stats are competitive, considering teh grad degree and your major and assuming a 660 GMAT), but I am a little concerned about your full-time work experience. It is definitely on the light side for Kellogg and Chicago. I'm not sure about Loyola and DePaul. On the other hand your background and experience is distinctive. Give it shot and see what happens. In the worst case you apply again in a year or two.
