Wondering the same
Honestly, if I were in your position, I'd choose the latter.
Don't forget you have to recruit for summer internships, which ideally lead to FT offers. You can only make a career pivot with an MBA once. The market isn't kind to career pivoters now, even those who are MBA students, and pre-MBA experience is prioritized by employers.
Many of us are struggling to find jobs outside of our pre-MBA industry—and even jobs in our pre-MBA industry. :/ Not sure most people go for an MBA to end up in their original industry.

Yikes. Well was the program worth it otherwise (network, fun, etc.)? What was your background before MBA?
Man being full time in a MBA program during orange turd’s regime would be amazing. You would go in now and come out looking for a job near the end of his term.
I’m sure in 2 years we will be fine, I expect a lot of turbulence in 2025-2026 though.

I think it might be more like 4-5 years
I would go the part time route and continue to bring home income AND keep the meter running with resume experience. Unless you’re looking to do something completely different.
Unfortunately I’ve seen more than a few full timers get their offer rescinded even after doing an internship (I know one was thru Dell).
Alot of you aren't tapping into the unlimited external scholarships .
If I do not get in R3, i will find work for one year to save and sell my paid off SUV so i do not have take out loans. Choose a city where I do not need a vehicle for two years.
I qualify for full tuition through an organization I applied to but I know I need to get my GRE score up. I am strongly considering three year MBA/JD Round 1.
go full time what?
Full time mba (in contrast to part-time)
