FT at McDonough vs. FT Goizueta vs. PT Kellogg/Booth

I have to make a decision in the upcoming weeks between these choices. I'm a career changer trying to break into healthcare IB or MC. I already have FT offers at Georgetown and Emory, but would be applying to Kellogg/Booth PT beginning in the fall.

I know that FT is recommended for career changers, but would the Kellogg/Booth name make up for that? I'm also not tied to any particular city post-MBA, but I would like to preserve my options.

Any thoughts?

Are those the best FT mba programs you got into?

Booth/Kellogg PT are NOT for career switchers, especially banking and consulting. For those industries, most offers go out to summer interns, and PT students are not allowed to use on-campus recruiting for internships. So yeah, I mean it's going to be EXTREMELY difficult to make such a move. I have heard of a few people who managed to get consulting coming out of booth PT, but they basically quit their full-time jobs, went to every networking event, and worked their asses off. If you will be working full-time while doing booth/kellogg PT, i don't see how you make this transition.

Emory and Georgetown are not great mba programs, but if you're open to any reasonably decent bank or consulting firm and open to location, then they should do the trick.
