INSEAD vs Oxford vs NYU (part time) vs Kellog/Booth (Part time)

I'm a little hard pressed on time and by the time I start my MBA I will be 28 hence my inclination towards 1 yr MBA (INSEAD, OXFORD) or part time program. 2 yr seem awfully long.

INSEAD (1 yr program, But unsure if it will help me get a placement in US)
Oxford (1 yr Program and mostly rely on the brand name)
NYU (Good location but one notch below Booth/Kellog)
Booth/Kellog (Great school but bad location)

Would like to have some opinions from folks who are familiar with these programs and the potential pros/cons.

 

I don't think 28 is too old for a full time 2 year program. In fact, 28 is pretty much the average age. This situation may be different if you're married/got kids, but if not than I say still go for full time program and take some time to Chill.

Also - Chicago is not a bad location! I understand wanting to work in NYC after words if you're going to be in IB, but spending 2 years in Chicago is by no means painful - I bet you'd find it pretty enjoyable.

 

Have you already gained admissions to these schools? If so, congrats. If not, Kellogg HAS a one year MBA program that you can apply to.

That being said, I feel like 28 isn't too old for a regular, full-time, two year MBA program.
