Guys,
I need honest advice from all of GMATClub users. I am planning to apply at Part-time/weekend MBA programs at 4 Midwestern business schools. I recently scored 660(Q48, V33) on GMAT and retaking it in January to improve a little. I have total of 6 years of experience in Medical device and Pharma industry (engineering mostly). I have Masters degree in Chemical Engineering from a State level university in India (I am US citizen though). (Masters GPA 7.27/10 and Undergrad GPA 2.96/4). The schools I am planning to apply at are: Kellogg, Booth, Ross and Kelley. Please advise if the my profile fits the first three.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
KP

I'm in a very similar situation (660 GMAT on first attempt, 3.06 undergrad GPA). I would say that Ross and Kelley are both pretty good shots if you present a strong overall application (essays, recommendations). Ross Mean GMAT is 646 and Kelley is 650. Both Kellogg and Booth are going to be much more difficult to get into, and I would expect this to partly be because of a much larger pool of part-time applicants in Chicago. Still, I think it's a good idea to apply to them as stretch schools. If you don't get any dings you probably didn't reach enough.
Also, I'm less familiar with Kelley, but Booth is a much different school from Kellogg and Ross. I would base that decision more on what you want to do with your MBA. Booth is famously quant focused and Kellogg and Ross are more similarly collaborative and soft-skill focused programs aimed at consulting and marketing.

You have a decent profile. I am not sure I understand your reasons for applying to part-time/weekend programs. You might want to seriously reconsider that decision. Also, it might be very difficult to get into a top part-time MBA program with 6 yrs of experience.
Give us more information about your experience to evaluate your profile. Have you demonstrated leadership skills during your work experience or in any of the extra-curricular activities? The best option for you is to re-take GMAT and try scoring around 700+. You can download our free ebook to understand the key elements of an mba application.
Good Luck!
