I have no idea what recruiting season entails, so this might be a big headache. Internship might be a damper as well, but I think might be able to be overcome. Plus, as part time programs are easier to get into that full time, while I can probably get into a top 10 part time/weekend program, if I went fulltime I’d probably have to slide more around top 25 then 10.
