In the US it's not as stringent. More recently schools as prestigious as Stanford have begun encouraging earlier applicants - I have no idea how many of these "earlier applicants" end up being accepted, though. In the US I'd say 3-5 years work experience is still the standard. Is that just general work experience? OR would they prefer a business related job? A "professional" job. Basically, a career. That can be anything from being the manager of a store (think target or macys or something like that) to marketing and sales in an actual company to doing finance for a company. I'd say more than half of the ppl who go to a good business school do not hold typical "business" jobs beforehand, though. Many of them may be scientists or computer-oriented or lawyers. Adding an MBA can open up doors for them to continue in those professions in more managerial roles in large companies. |

I'm sure working there would be good for getting into a business school for my masters. |
