I have been accepted into Booth and Kellogg, in their respective Weekend MBA programs.
Which program is better for a part-time MBA? I searched the forums but the newest similar post I found was 2 years old. Most people in that thread were saying Kellogg was ranked higher and had the better program, but since then it seems Booth has overtaken Kellogg in terms of ranking for FT and PT MBA.
However, I've also read that Kellogg is stronger in Management/Consulting, whereas Booth favors Finance/Banking. Given that my undergrad degree is in Engineering, and I'm mainly aiming for some sort of a Consulting role (I don't plan on going in Finance or Banking), would Kellogg be the way to go? Or is Booth still the better choice?
TL;DR: Booth vs Kellogg for PT MBA? Booth ranked higher, Kellogg seemingly stronger for Consultancy majors. Anything that may tilt the scale in favor of one or the other?

Congratulations on getting into both programs!
Here is a good discussion for Booth vs. Kellogg https://gmatclub.com/forum/kellogg-vs-b ... 16907.html
Something to keep in mind is the benefits you get as a PT student. Kellogg is quite well known for their openness and involvement of PT and EMBA students in career fairs and providing them with the same access to employers as they do for FT students. Some schools, on the other hand, (most that is), segregate the PT and FT programs and prioritize career opportunities for FT students.
Unless Booth has changed their policy towards PT students, I think Kellogg would be a clear choice, esp if you are changing careers...
P.S. MC and Career change are not well suited for PT MBA. Take a look at my post about PT vs. FT MBA just so you are aware of all the pros and cons and set your expectations correctly - https://gmatclub.com/forum/part-time-vs ... 41079.html

Chiming in here as well, as a Kellogg alum and former head of the school's consulting club, BB is spot on here. PT students have the same access during the FT recruiting process as 2Y MBA students which it seems would really benefit you here. Also, given the cross section of students you meet during recruiting and also in your classes (PT MBA and 2nd year students often are in the same electives) the networking opportunities during recruiting and post-grad are great at Kellogg.
Both programs are great but I would go Kellogg here
