I've been accepted to McCombs' evening program in Austin and Tepper's online hybrid program (online classes, meet every 6 weeks, option to go FT after first year online). McCombs is about 10k cheaper not including the travel to Pittsburgh every 6 weeks. I currently have 2 years of work experience as a Software Engineer. My post mba goal is Tech product management. I also want to explore Corporate Strategy and Consulting option and to truly do this I feel I should go full time to be involved in clubs and have an internship. If I were to apply full time next cycle I would retake the GMAT and I think I would score 700-720.
McCombs' PT
Pros
+Location
+Good tech placement
+Graduate without debt
+Micro consulting projects available throughout duration of program
Cons
-Set curriculum, no electives
-Limited access to full time clubs
-Travel every 6 weeks
Tepper PT
Pros
+Awesome curriculum, analytics based
+Option to go FT after a year
+Good tech placement
Cons
-Online courses for at least a year
-Location
-Almost no access to full time clubs
Apply FT next cycle
(Tepper, McCombs, Ross, Fuqua, Darden? )
Pros
+Better networking than PT
+Access to clubs
+Internship
+Apply to higher ranked programs
+More scholarship opportunities than PT
Cons
- ~200k lost salary
-Most likely lots of debt
-At least one more year as software engineer (not horrible but I don't love it)
-No employer tuition assistance

If you are confident to get 700+ GMAT score, I suggest you go with Full Time programme rather than Evening programme. FT programme always has a high impact in your profile.

Congrats on your admit. However, considering your experience and age(hope you would be below 30), it is better to join in the Full-time program.
