Admissions committees evaluate the GMAT/GRE in context — your background, your representation in the applicant pool, the strength of everything else in your file. The same score works for one candidate and falls short for another with identical numbers.

Hello,
I am new to the GMAT club community. This will be my first post, as I am seeking guidance.
I have been in contact with one specific MBA school who has informed me that having an undergraduate degree is not necessary.
Most other peers I speak with advise me that it is highly unlikely I will get into any masters program without it.
The school also advised me if I went back to get an undergrad, I would be looking at 3-4 years and then coming back to work full time another 2-3 years (because of being disconnected for so long); this in turn would set me back about 7 years. So again, they advised that it is mainly best to apply without one as long as I have sufficient work experience. The academic side can be shown through the GMAT.
Now, I don't want to put all my eggs in one basket and try for this one school.
So I am merely looking for guidance through my GMAT journey and admissions journey in a way that will give me an upperhand vs. those with an undergrad.
What type of score should I aim for and should I achieve before applying anywhere?
I find that while studying with store bought books, the learning curve is far under that of questions found online, and I feel very under developed with these books - what do you recommend I do living in Ottawa, ON?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
P.S My work experience varies from 2-3 years of learning and leadership development to coaching and support of agents and associates in a financial world. (Mainly an assistant lead role).

The only accredited MBA program I've heard of admitting students without an undergrad degree is HBS: https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2006/ ... enroll-at/

Yeah...my opinion of an MBA program that didn't require an undergrad degree would be about the same as my opinion of a college that didn't require a high school diploma or GED.
Since you've got work experience you may be a candidate for going directly to an MBA program after getting an undergrad degree. Post-undergrad work experience isn't a requirement for most schools.
