alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1641 Part-time works if you’re happy where you’re working, and can see a good pathway forward, with the MBA. But it generally takes longer, and completion rates are not always as high.

Full-time appears to fit your profile, but I’d really push for taking the GMAT and apply in Round 2 if you plan to go full-time. The experience is very different, and can be very fulfilling, etc.

Showing impact and growth at work is key. Are you also involved in activities outside of work?
