Question by Dru D: Why are part time MBA admissions easier than full time MBA admissions?
I’m looking at the GPA and GMAT scores for Full Time versus Part Time and I see a huge difference. If I attend PT, do I have to work to qualify for admissions?

You don’t need to work. What happens with all part-time programs is that they take longer to complete, so many people do not want to go through that hassle.

Are you comparing them for the same schools? If so, I’m surprised.
The schools with the larger full time programs tend to be the more selective, ranked schools. Those with just part time programs are usually not ranked and their programs are not as selective.
There are some good schools with part time programs. For those schools, most of the part time students have similar qualifications as the full time students. For example, it is actually harder to get into Berkeley’s night-time program than its day-time program.
Like the guy from above, it is actually harder to get into NYU/Stern’s part-time program than the fulltime. There are a lot more applicants since most people do not want to give up their fulltime job (or they have work pay for it)
I’m sorry but Taranto is incorrect. I ATTEND UC Berkeley’s MBA program and it’s not easier or harder to get into either the evening or day time program. All the requirements are the same and etc. The average GMAT and GPA may differ a little because of the incoming pool of students but that’s about it.
Seeking admission in an MBA college is a tough job. But, if you prepare yourself for the interview and group discussion around, you can crack it easily.
The difference in GMAT and GPA are exactly what they’re getting at. If the difference in those between the FT and PT programs are negligible then they don’t have a point. If there is a big difference then one is clearly harder to get into than the other. Generally PT is easier to get into but maybe not at every school – especially schools where most of the students can get their MBA funded by their employer.
