Should I apply for next year?
So I understand more experience is probably the norm, but I have a bit of a story and wondering if that helps my case at all.
I just graduated in May 2017, but I worked full time through school. I did business development for a growing financial firm for 2 years, then worked as an analyst under the PM for the second 2 years. The reason I am in a rush is because I am 25. I started school late because I had 2 family events over a 2 year period (both brother and dad almost died). This stopped me from going away to school. I graduated with a 3.2 from a State school but 3.7 major gpa (finance). I now work in sales for a top Asset Management firm. I believe that I am fully ready to take advantage of what a MBA has to offer and think it would benefit me greatly.
The question is how long do I really NEED to wait? my goal is to score over a 700 on GMAT (currently studying). Aiming for t20 schools. Do I have a shot?
Bump
I would probably wait maybe two years. It'll give you some time to study for and take the GMAT and build relationships with your recommenders.
you will have to start studying alot for the GMAT, so it will take time to apply.
i dont think any T20 school will take you without any work experience post graduation
Well I would have a minimum 1 year post graduation if I went next year. I was hoping with my work during school and essays that that would be enough.
also interested
bump?
