Yale SOM vs. Chicago Booth (PT)

Hi everyone,

I have been incredibly lucky, and have been admitted to my top-choice full-time program and my top-choice part-time program.

I rarely see anything at all about folks who are exploring full-time and part-time programs at the same time. In my case, I am simply overwhelmed by the $$ involved. I come from plenty of privilege, but not enough to choose $186K in loans with any amount of comfort. I want to go to Yale, but I just can't reconcile the finances. They mention that the 'average' student only takes less than 60K in loans, and takes 6-7 years to repay them. That's crazy to me - am I silly for even considering the option when I don't have an alternative funding source and no scholarship? Do people even do that; is it possible?

OK, we are straying from the point, my apologies for my anxieties. The end goal is Deloitte Human Capital. A friend on the inside tells me Yale SOM is a popular feeder there (controlling for size of program, I imagine).

I guess my second question is this - if I do Chicago's PT Weekend MBA program, is it even minutely possible for me to land at Deloitte Human Capital? If there is a reasonable chance, I will make it happen, but I want to get a sense of how often this occurs - are PT graduates (specifically from Haas/Booth calibre) at all competitive for Deloitte, McKinsey, etc?

So basically... (1) do people take 186K in loans, without alternative funding? Like, is that a thing that happens? And (2) can I get to Deloitte Human Capital from a top ranked part-time program like Booth?

Thanks for your advice. I apologize if these questions are basic, I've been undertaking this process pretty much all on my own!
