Buyside role from top part-time MBA

Gents - I was wondering if anyone has had any success in landing a buyside analyst role from a top part-time program. I'm in the Chicago area and my employer is willing to pick up the half the tab for Booth or Kellogg part-time. I currently work in fixed income manager due diligence, have my CFA and would like to work as a credit analyst down the road. I realize this isn't the preferred route (full-time opens more doors), but given my circumstances do you think its possible?
