Hi Singar,

This is an interesting question and there isn't a clear answer. The weekend MBA (executive MBA) programs at Booth and Kellogg are not "watered-down" or "easy" versions of a normal MBA. The programs still look to admit high caliber individuals. However, the criteria by which these individuals are judged may be a bit different and could work in your favor. Successful applicants for the weekend programs need a strong track record of success. It is the professional accomplishments that matter most. The students in the programs work full time and have positions that they aren't willing to leave for a more "traditional" program. Usually the students have the MBA paid for by their current employed (who will often fly them to Chicago every other weekend, etc.).

SO...with that said, your GMAT is less important than it would be otherwise. However, you still need to show that you can handle a rigorous course load and that you are analytically inclined. If you can demonstrate this through your LORs and work experience, you may have a shot. It will still be challenging but, with a compelling application, I think it could be possible.
