I'm in the process of writing my second essay for NYU Stern's part time program. The question asks you to explain why you selected either weeknight or weekend classes at Washington Square or Westchester. Westchester is out of the question for me, but I'm having difficulty deciding between weeknight and weekend classes at Washington Square. If any current part timers could help answer the following questions, it would greatly help me in my decision.
(1) It seems as though the big name professors only teach during the day or at night. I looked through the course listing for the three professors that I know off the top of my head: Damodaran, Engle, and Roubini. Damodaran only teaches during the day and Engle/Roubini teach during the day and at night. So, my question is: do weeknight part timers get access to better caliber professors than weekend part timers?
(2) Which of the two programs is easier to get into? Weeknight or weekend?
(3) Is it easy to switch from weeknight to weekend classes after one year? If I opt for weeknight, but want to do a combination of weeknight and weekend classes after a year, will I have a decent shot at securing a seat in a weekend class? Or are they usually full/reserved for weekend only students?
Thanks in advance for the help!

I'll try to answer your questions. I am in the weeknight program, so I haven't paid much attention to the weekend professors.
1.) Damodaran only teaches during the day and Full Time students have preference. If you can leave work twice a week during the day you might be able to get in, though. Other than that, I know Roubini, Engle, and Brandenberger all teach weeknight courses. I haven't seen any offerings of their classes on the weekends, but they teach electives. I am pretty sure once you finish your core courses, you take classes whenever you want.
2.) NYU will claim there is no difference, but due to the limited number of weekend spots, I would guess it may be slightly tougher. Not sure, though.
3.) I believe so. You only stick with your core group for the 4 core classes and then you can take classes whenever you want. Weekend students may have preference to the weekend classes, though.
Hope this helps!
