They do have a lot of opps that full-time students do but not all. Employers are also more selective with students, knowing that selectivity across part-time and full-time programs are vastly different
I had a 730 gmat and turned down FT offers for PT Kellogg, and I ended up getting the best of both worlds. Landed the exit I wanted in consulting and didn’t give up a salary. It’s for sure a lot harder to do, but it is doable

On avg, no.
Kellogg and Booth allow you to recruit. I went through Kellogg PT and I landed a T2 consulting offer. I was in the minority though. Consulting and banking still want to see a high gmat. Most of my cohort didn’t get an interview because their GMAT was enough to get into PT but not FT and it seemed like employers dinged them for that. Tons of my cohort switched into Tech though
Depends on the school, but oftentimes no, not without going through additional requirements.
E.g., at Stern, PT kids are only allowed to participate in on campus recruiting with FT if they go through a resume review process with career services, a pitch practice process, and some workshops. If completed, they can join the full time post MBA employment recruiting. They still can't join the internship recruiting.

Top part time MbA is an oxymoron. Even the top schools have 70-80 percent acceptance rates from part time. They are cash cows feeding the full time program
