Hi all,
I have been admitted to Kellogg as well as Booth PT MBA program. My career goal is to switch to Management Consulting roles.
I am confused between the two colleges. I have option from Kellogg to fast track my MBA with Accelerated option while Booth does not have any such option.
I do not have any information, if I have scholarship from either of them yet.
What is important for me?
1. College that gives me all the support I need to switch job, how much is the school committed in terms of Career Center Support,
2. School connections that I can leverage to seek job opportunities, how well connected is the school in the job market (of course it also depends on how much efforts I put)
I am confused which one to pick. Looking for some advise.
Thanks in advance for your time!

Congratulations on your admits!
Are Chicago? Is there any difference for you between the campuses? I think both have campuses downtown Chicago but I have not been keeping track of the PT locations.
Kellogg has traditionally been a program that is more friendly towards their part-time and executive students, inviting them or at least allowing them to attend full-time recruiting events. As the result, I would lean slightly towards Kellogg. At the same time in terms of brand and cohort and education, Everyone applies to both of these and if lucky, chooses between both of these….
I didn’t see anything that would impounded me like a natural choice unfortunately…. Besides the accelerated option which saves money and time…. But you have to think about what you get out and how will you recruit… I couldn’t find the calendar for the accelerated program as I’d be curious when it begins and ends understand when you would be recruiting for consulting positions. Consulting recruiting is usually in the fall and sometimes as early as October. Results are announced in January… are you a typical MBA experience level recruiting for regular consultant position after business school?
PS. in general, the part-time programs are not the best vehicles for career transition. Many consulting companies will mostly recruit those who interned with them… But they do recruit additional people who may have chosen a different internship previous summer.

Thank you so much for your reply.
I am actually not based in Chicago. I will be relocating to Chicago.
As part of Accelerated course, I start in March with everyone else in Traditional course with the only benefit that I will be studying advanced courses than foundational in Marketing, Operations and Economics. So I will be ahead about a semester.
I plan to finish my MBA in no later than 2 years. Given some of the courses I have studied as part of my integrated Masters and Bachelors course 8 years ago.
I agree it is going to be hard to switch career, but I still would love to choice a school that atleast would pay attention, supporting me through the recruiting process and ofcourse help me explore the options to tackle the recruiting process in the best way. At the end, it is going to be me who will have to put all efforts to make the best out of the resources that the school provides.
Is Booth not that friendly with PTs?
