I am pursuing my MBA and came into my program straight from undergrad. I've noticed some positions specify programs as being for undergraduates and then having other programs for MBA students. For example, I've noticed J.P. Morgan and Wells Fargo do this. The thing I'm noticing is some of these MBA specified programs often require 3-5 years work experience. I do not have that since I came straight from undergrad. I am wanting to get opinion's on if it is appropriate to apply for the undergraduate program or should I just apply for the MBA program. Would it hurt to apply for both? Thank you in advance for the thoughts everyone.

An MBA isn't for undergrads who just graduated. These job postings are just proving that point.
You can still apply to undergrad positions, typically the MBA positions you're mentioning are higher level and you're not going to get without experience.
Thanks for the input. I've realized now I should have waited to get my MBA, but am going into the 2nd year of the 2 year program and it's too late to back out now.
