Influence of Post-baccalaureate Work on Acceptance

Okay, this is like the sequel or spin-off of my other thread regarding work experiences to MBA admissions. Hopefully by getting these questions answered will erase most of my concerns.

  1. What are the "desired" or "appropriate" work experiences are required for MBA admissions to the top-tier MBA programs?

  2. How often do pre-MBA applicants claim to want a career change by getting an MBA and what are the rates of success in doing so?

  3. How exactly do you address or articulate your goals and reasons why MBA is the right time and right thing for you to do? Should you even reveal to the Adcom about your plans of breaking into IB?

  4. Does joining organizations, such as INSEAD and Toigo in which you may demonstrate leadership skills or contributions to the financial industry, improve your chances of getting into top schools like Wharton, IF you do happen to end up working in a field that is completely irrelevant or even less regarded by business professionals, such as teaching?

Thanks ahead of the time for everyone taking time trying to answer them.
