I don’t see it as an issue.
Based on my interaction with admission committee member during information session, SBS admits students with less (or no) experience if they are Rhodes scholars or applying for 1+1 MBA.
I have also seen other business schools admitting “a few” students for MBA who are way below average/median experience of that of other students.

I know I will not go to Oxford, but I still want to bring forward something that I have noticed.
Accepted candidates where added to a Google group and I have been receiving e-mails from future students that are introducing themselves. I read that at least two of them are still undegraduates, one of them mentioning that his/her only work experience so far has been a couple of summer internships! I am a bit disappointed that Saïd accepts students with such little experience. Doing an MBA is a great opportunity to learn from professors but even more from other students. Do any present or future students have any opinions on this?

Relevant professional experience: Whilst most of our students have more than three years experience, we do consider those with less work experience. If this is the case, we look for candidates who are
able to demonstrate a high level of maturity, combined with evidence of leadership ability.
The above is their written requirement. I truly hope they have prudent method to judge those demonstrations. But definitely it will be unfair and unethical to stick to silly issues for some deserving candidates and be liberal for some other candidate. Anyway, Bill Gate once said, the world is not perfect!!
