top 15 mba in US for only 3 years of work experiences

I see class profile from top 15 mba in US and it shows average years of work experiences are 5 years. People say MBA requires 3-5 years of work experiences but I am wondering whether 3 years of work experiences are impossible to get in top 15 MBA(including Harvard Wharton Stanford)

Yeah, I recently saw on LinkedIn someone who was accepted to Stanford's MBA program with 0 years of work experience which would push it down some...but she was an incoming analyst at either a UMM / MF PE firm most people want as an exit opportunity directly out of college, and had just graduated from one of HYPSMW

But I'd say for most people the typical 2+2+2 is normal
