Booth PT/Kellogg PT/Ross Weekend/USC Fulltime/Emory Fulltime Choice
Hi,
I got admitted to all the programs list above and have a hard time to choose between.
My background:
Asian male with working visa and work in credit risk in a BB in NYC. Would like to switch to IB or corporate finance. I am also waiting for greencard at this moment. Going fulltime means giving up on the green card application. But I know going PT is going to be very tough to land a job in IB.
Just wonder which of the listed program will help me achieve my goal? Appreciate all the insights!

Why not just stay full-time and try to lateral within your BB? This is quite a well-trodden path
In the meantime, just work on your grad school apps for a FT program so by the time you receive your green card, you can enroll if you wish to
PT MBA doesn't seem very worth it in terms of network and job opps although I could be wrong? Curious to hear your thoughts
Thanks! I do get accepted in a couple of lower ranking fulltime program including USC and Emory. Just don't know how they are compared to PT programs like Booth or Kellogg
I think the brand name of Booth and Kellogg is definitely stronger even though its PT. How does the PT program work in terms of class schedule, is it night classes?
I think Emory is the best option for an IB job. Booth PT, Ross PT, USC full time, and Emory full time all have publicly available employment reports, making the choice straightforward. I wouldn’t trust any school that doesn’t put out an employment report for its program.

yes I am just not sure if an asian male from PT MBA is competitive to recruit for IB, you know my friend..
go to Booth / Kellogg PT. Kellogg allows PT students to recruit for IB associate internships and PT students have had decent IB placement in the past couple of years, including GS / EVR. I'm sure Booth has placed PT students into solid IB roles as well, but not familiar with the exact stats.
oh I thought Kellogg doesn't allow PT to recruit for internships, I could be wrong
Booth hands down, but Kellogg and Ross should also be helpful
you would rate Booth PT better than Emory full time?
Employment report shows 6.4% of booth part-time MBAs got an investment banking. This seems like a high-risk, high-reward kind of move. Proceed with caution.

Talked to an Emory grad at Guggenheim so it's very possible. Also a lot of Columbia kids who did the J-term program which makes it almost impossible to recruit for banking did it and were very successful. A lot of banks are having a tough time filling roles because a lot of people are doing consulting/tech for whatever reason. My point is if you do USC/Emory full-time you will have a shot at banking. I would ask these part-time schools if any of the people were able to do banking. If they were, go do PT. Greencard is probably just as valuable as an IB offer honestly.
Thanks my friend. It's a really really tough decision. IB offer in US may be hard for Asian male, honestly I don't know what to choose
