This FT vs PT is crap. Employers don't care about that nonsense.
Far more important is going to a top tiered school, networking and on-campus recruiting (although to be fair one's ability to take advantage of the latter two will naturally be limited by a PT status).

As everyone always says, go to the best school you can get into.  If the only way to go to a top school is through the PT program, then go for it.  At NYU, the FT acceptance rate is about 12%.  In contrast, the PT acceptance rate is 50%.

Nobody does an MBA for the education anyway. It's mostly a bunch of group project mumbo jumbo. Most areas of business are not a discipline with actual content in the same way that accounting and finance are structured. People do MBA's for the networking and recruiting. If you work 40+ hours a week, you're not going to have much opportunity to network with your classmates.
