| Probably More
I was also accepted to the One Year program recently. In terms of the curriculum, I don't think there is any disadvantage because you already have an undergrad business degree. The core curriculum is just accelerated, but you arent skipping anything. If anything, it's a more competitive admission, especially in the later rounds. That's something to talk about... However, if you are looking for a drastic career change, the two year probably makes it easier in that you have the summer internship. Other than that, the one year's the way to go - it's a much better ROI too. As you probably know, schools such as Kellogg and Notre Dame have one year programs, and it's the norm in Europe. Hence, it's not unusual, and wouldn't present a disadvantage unless, as mentioned, you are looking for significant career change in terms of field... In terms of how successful One Year students are compared to two year students, I will guess that they are as successful if not moreso. In my campus experience, they seemed to be of a higher caliber and more focused. And intuitively, one would expect that... All things being equal, if your cohort is stronger, the experience will be better.
