Is there much of a difference in a EMBA vs MBA? If I could get into a good school for an EMBA program shouldn’t I just take that rather than a lower school mba?

EMBAs are geared for senior leadership level. Often 35-40+ and usually part-time. From a rankings perspective, yes— it’s better to go to an EMBA Exec/PT (as long as it’s still reasonably competitive) at a better school than FT at a lower tier.

But need to check for things like campus recruiting and placement data to ensure you can still leverage it to pivot successfully (if that’s what you’re looking to do.)

Please don’t spread misinformation. A part time booth or kellogg degree does not come close to a top 30 full time experience. These part time programs average out to 650 GMATs which are lower than any top 30 and would be in Line with a top 50 full time program. The bar is completely different. One is a transformative experience and the other is a cash cow
