Direct from Undergraduate

In your opinion, what are the chances of an undergraduate with an interesting story to tell and a broad range of experience making it directly into a top business school. This seems to be quite a controversial question with different answers depending on who you talk to.
Kellogg has a minimum experience requirement.
Harvard says:"Traditionally, we have admitted a small number of applicants directly from university each year. We strive to find outstanding leaders at different points in their professional lives. Some applicants may meet this criteria while still in or immediately following undergraduate school, while others may need several years of full-time work experience before they apply. We want outstanding applicants to consider Harvard Business School as an option when they feel that the time is right for them and they can demonstrate the criteria we are looking for. " Also, "# Fee Waiver: The $225 application fee will be waived for college seniors (i.e., applicants currently enrolled in a four-year university or the equivalent with no full-time work experience)."
Chicago says: "Early Career Applicants - Many prospective students struggle with the decision as to what point in their career they should pursue an MBA. At Chicago GSB, we do not have any minimum work experience requirements, and encourage candidates to apply when they have determined the time is right. Successful early career applicants have demonstrated a high potential for leadership, academic preparedness, community involvement, self awareness and are able to explain why now is the right time to pursue an MBA. " Chicago also waves fees for undergraduates.
It seems if these schools didn't want undergraduates to apply, they would not go through the trouble of waving the fees.

Hi!
I am undergrad and would like to answer your question (as I was admitted)
In fact, Harvard and Stanford are considered as schools accepting undergrad-s more.
But I think MIT Sloan has started to admit young guys more. I was admiited directly from college(I am an international student). And I saw another guy coming directly from college as well.
So, if you have strong quant-s consider MIT as well

Thanks for the info!
Just a quick question:
What sort of extracuricular activities did you have to present?
Have you already had a full time job?
