So this is unorthodox, I'll admit. People usually stick with either part time or full time, but I have some pretty flexible options. A year ago my firm endorsed my endorsed my desire to go to b-school and said they'd love to have me stay on, either in a full time or part time role while I'm in school. So I've narrowed my choices and I'm between Cornell's full time program and Berkeley's part-time program, both of which I've been accepted into.
I won't be getting reimbursed for school by my firm, and now I need to make a choice and I'm struggling quite a bit with it. I've visited both campuses and both great in different ways. I'm principally interested in entrepreneurship: Berkeley has an established program but Cornell is making very fast strides to catch up (google "Cornell in NYC" if you doubt me).
I know I'm comparing apples and oranges here, but does anyone have a view? I know I can't go wrong either way, but do you feel the merits of Haas outweigh the part-time aspects (evening classes, three years vs two, class mates that also hold down full time jobs, etc...) when compared to an Ivy program like Cornell but is still an "up and comer" in my principal field? Assume I care NOTHING about PT vs FT - do you think the programs compare? I still have a few weeks to decide, any insights would be real helpful! Thanks
