I'm a white male with 7 years of progressive work experience, but not quite at the "ready for an executive MBA" level.
3.4 undergrad GPA/690 GMAT
Currently in a decent job in DC & applying to the part-time evening programs at Maryland & Georgetown. While each of these clearly make sense since I could grow within my current firm while pursuing the degree, I'm also wondering if I'm missing a bet by not aiming higher, i.e. applying to the part-time program at Kellogg. Harder to justify, as I would have to quit my job, move to Chicago & find a job there, but is the relative prestige difference worth the added cost?
Would the adcomm view such a prospective move negatively? Even if I could get into Kellogg's full-time program, I'm not in a position financially to pursue it--loans for school are one thing, but having to forgo the cost-of-living income provided by a full-time job is impossible for me right now.
