The problem is that the PT or weekend usually does not help switch career. Full time MBA will support your goal and good university could help penetrate your dream job.
Why did not you pursue full time MBA?

Thanks for bringing it up - I was going to mention the issue with job search though for someone staying within the same industry, that may be less of a challenge as they are able to network they way in the current job. It is not uncommon though for PT/FEMBA grads to end up in their current jobs for 1-2 years after graduation as they take a rest/break and recover from the crazy schedule/lifestyle they have had combining work, school, and often family.
P.S. My guess is that with 660 it would be hard to get into top 10 FT programs. PT applicant volume seems to be more limited but many schools have introduced weekend and other PT programs that cater to commuters, thus expanding and increasing competition (and thus elevating applicant qualifications and caliber). It is a good thing I think as right now, you can shoot for a FT program with 750 and barely have a chance to get into a top 10 program whereas someone with a 650 can get into the same school but into the PT program, and upon graduation, have a pretty much identical diploma with the same school name on it. Even if it does have anything identifying it as a PT/Weekend/EMBA on it, it likely won't be picked up or clearly processed by the HR. A Booth MBA will be considered a Booth MBA regardless whether it is EMBA, FT, PT, or Weekend. Of course the FT folks will always think they are better than the rest, which, frankly, on paper they are, and it is their FT program that is driving the rankings. The others are kind of a cash machine for the school.
