Apply for graduate programs 1-2 years after graduating

Hi,

I would know if we can still apply for graduate program with some experience.

In theory we couldn't but a friend told me we can still be eligible to get a graduate program even 1 year after we get our diploma.

What do you think? I'm from a country where graduate program are not popular from company so your opinion would be very interesting.

Thank you very much.

Regards,

 

It's possible I guess. But I haven't heard of a 1 year then graduate. Earliest I've heard is Harvard's 2+2. The average age in most MBA programs is around 27, so ~5 years experience, and I would wait until then if I were you. If you're too young and come out of grad school (assuming it's an MBA or some related degree) you'll be in between a rock and a hard place when it comes to finding employment

 

I would be shocked if you can get hired as an analyst after your 4-5 years of experience. But you can definitely apply to associate programs, which are also "graduate programs", and your work experience can help.
