Hello friends!
Need your help to decide the best MBA program that suits my career goals and profile.
I have been fortunate to be admitted to PT (Evening) programs at Haas, Ross, Booth and Kellogg. I'm having a hard time deciding which program to choose. There are no scholarships at any of these schools, so money is not a factor.
My short term career goal is to work as a Technology Consultant at one of the big tech firms (e.g. Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Apple) and my long term career goal is to work as a Product Manager or Business Strategy Manager in the technology space as well.
About me:
- Currently working in the Detroit Area as a Senior Programmer Analyst in Project Lead/Developer roles
- 11 yrs of work exp in IT
- MS in Computer Science; BS in Mathematics
Please advise with your invaluable inputs.
Thanks!

Congrats and Welcome to GMAT Club!
I think all of the programs are going to fit your needs (some maybe slightly better than others). Here are a few things to consider:
1. Commuting/ease of access - not sure if all have satellite programs/offices in your preferred location but this plays a big role in the choice
2. Ability to attend/participate in the recruiting events and use of the career resources. Some schools do not allow this and actually even prohibit you from taking/attending FT classes (which is kind of lame, Haas) while others welcome it and make their events and recruiting opportunities open to PT (Kellogg)
3. PT programs are usually not well designed for career changes due to a lack of internship options so you have to keep this in mind as recruiting is a big time drain and a commitment. Doing it in addition to a Full Time job (you are planning to work or are you planning right or is your plan to quit and move to a city of your choice and attend the PT program?) Anyway, doing recruiting along with a job and PT MBA is super tough. Super duper tough if you have a family but not impossible and can be done but don't expect to be hired just because you took a few evening classes. Your MBA degree will assist you in getting shortlisted but if your resume is not speaking for itself or if you don't have an insider helping you out, it is a crap shoot
4. ideally pick a program in the city where you live so you can leverage your network, meet with classmates for lunch/team meetings, etc. Not impossible to do remotely but helps to be local.
P.S. Hopefully these were valuable or maybe invaluable?

Thanks so much bb for the welcome and the useful inputs. I plan to keep working full time and I agree it is quite tough travelling and participating in recruitment along with a FT job and studies.
I missed including some info in my first post. I will be relocating (so not travelling) to the city wherever I choose to do the PT MBA and my employer has been kind enough to allow remote work while I pursue the part-time MBA. So given that and comparing these 4 reputed B-schools, which B-School(s) will serve me best to achieve my career goals?
