Weekend (part-time) MBA at Chicago-Booth or Kellogg - Chance

by singar_a » Sun Dec 19, 2010 8:18 am
Hello,

I am working as a IT Project/Program Manager at HP. I took my GMAT yesterday and got a score of 580.

My initial target was SMU COX since I live in Dallas. I think 580 is a decent enough score to apply for Part-time MBA at SMU COX.

My question is:
Is there any chance of getting into the "weekend MBA" program at Chicago-Booth or Kellogg with a score of 580 or is it going to be a waste of time to even apply for it?

Since it is a weekend program, I am trying find out if there is a chance of getting in with a lower score of 580. I have a M.S in computer science with 17 years of experience in IT with the last 7 years as a Project and Program Manager.

Please let me know and Thanks for your time.

Regards,
Singar.

You would have to have something exceptional in your profile to get accepted to the Chicago weekend program. Their middle 80% is 620-740 (compared to 660-760 full time). That means only 10% of their class comes in below 620. Kellogg doesn't give a separate breakdown for the part-time program, but the full time program only accepts 8% below 640.

Obviously there are exceptions, but those people who get in with well below the average have something very unusual and interesting to offer.
