Part time or full time, you put the effort in and you will be fine. Its still Booth, not some directional state school.
Reminds me of those jerk off moms on college tours. "My little Joey scored a 1500 on his SATs, is president of his class, and runs his own non-profit for wounded veterans, does he have a good chance of getting in?"
Umm.. Not sure of nycskibum's background, but I think he's oversimplifying things a bit. It will not be easy. Definitely doable since the charter will allow your resume to stand out, but it's gonna take some hustle. What type of funds are you interested in? I'm FT at Booth doing IM, and my experience has been that most of the big mutual funds fill their FT hiring needs through the internship programs. Assuming you won't be doing an internship, this will put you at a major disadvantage. Also, the PT students started to be allowed to attend FT recruiting events on campus in their last year. Problem was, all the FT students had access to these firms and recruiting events during their first year, and so they have already largely already formed relationships, or at least had been introduced to these people the year before. The recruiters seemed to notice this. If you were someone they remembered from the lunches/cocktail parties/stock pitch events/etc from the year before, they were much more likely to close list you for interviews. Whereas if you are a new face, it may raise questions for them of "where was this person when we recruited for internships?"
I think you might stand much better luck with boutique shops or hedge funds. Most of the smaller shops didn't take interns, so you're not really at a disadvantage relative to the FT students at all. With your credentials, I could see you getting on a number of closed lists and assuming your stock pitches are strong, you should find something. Off campus recruiting will be your friend, so make sure to allocate some time to visit with some funds on your own. Best of luck!
