Anyone with experience/opinion on the Part-time MBA program at UC Berkeley? Or pros/cons on full-time vs weekend/full employed MBA programs? Part-time/fullly-employed MBA program sounds like a great idea cuz I’m not loosing much income.

I did the evening program at Kellogg while working at a small consulting firm that didn't pay my way...it was busy and I wasn't able to be quite as social as others, but I didn't have to take out any loans and was able to put learnings into action immediately... it was worth it for me but I think it just depends on your priorities

Yeah that’s what the pros I’m going for work PT. Were you able to network with other folks in the program?

I’m in a PT program now and genuinely couldn’t fathom taking two years off to do an MBA - it’s just not (in my opinion) worth it. Can’t speak for Berkeley’s, but I appreciate being able to immediately apply what I learn to my daily work.

I did the part time program at Haas and loved it. Learn the difference between lose/loose before writing your application essays though

It’s the best PT program but PT programs are not as good as FT. Depends on your goals

Why it’s not as good?

Did you all tell your companies you were doing part time? Was it frowned upon or all good as long as it's on your own time?

Not yet. I was thinking about doing Weekend program

Just scored 700 on my GMAT and I feel like a bag of crap. For reference, I put in 300+hrs into my studying, which is overkill but the course I signed up for took this long.

I wanted to use this to strengthen my app to BCG as an experienced hire and possibly for an MBA in the future.

For the MBA programs I'm looking at this score is fine but is this a score that can help my BCG app in a MCOL Canadian city?
