MBA experience requirements?

Seems like all the strong b-schools expect 3+ years of experience in finance/business field, and ideally with some managerial work involved. For a chemist with 2 years experience in science is there any chance I could apply for a decent MBA? What should I do to improve my chances? Just want to do an MBA to leave chemistry.
