Here we go guys, yet another "what should I do?" question.
I just got into Michigan-Ross last week and am on cloud number 9. I also have a good chance at Chicago-PT (evening).
As a quick note, I am in healthcare finance and am trying to switch my career to consulting (management/strategic).
I am older candidate too (34 years young!
)
As a rule of thumb PT-MBA is said to be for career enhancers, not switchers. However in the open houses at Chicago, more than half
the students were switchers.
Ross is a great brand but Chicago is in the G7. However the letters "PT" dilute the "effect" of the name a bit. Financially, Chicago-PT will be easier to handle , since I will not have to forego my salary... My question is, for switching to consulting, do you guys think (or know) Chicago-PT will be as strong as Ross? I am very "in the middle" abou this...
Any opinion is welcome...

Thought I'd add my $.02 as I was investigating PT programs when I first started looking at an MBA. Chicago PT & Weekend and Kellogg's to be exact.
I'll be a career switcher as well.
One of the main factors that swayed me towards applying to FT programs was talking to students, especially at GSB. I was able to get connected to two students who started out PT and then switched to FT (which is no longer allowed at GSB as I understand, and is firmly not allowed at Kellogg). They basically told me the same thing - go FT. They said the programs in their minds were night and day, mainly due to the fact that you can fully dedicate yourself going FT and get more out of it, and thus reap more in the long term. The more I talked to PT and FT students, I began to feel that this was the case at both GSB and Kellogg.
I think the GSB PT is a great program and is perfect for a lot of people, but I think it is very different than a top FT program.

Are you comparing PT to PT or FT to PT?
And the Columbia Business School is the worst of all the so-called M7
