So I understand more experience is probably the norm, but I have a bit of a story and wondering if that helps my case at all.
I just graduated in May 2017, but I worked full time through school. I did business development for a growing financial firm for 2 years, then worked as an analyst under the PM for the second 2 years. The reason I am in a rush is because I am 25. I started school late because I had 2 family events over a 2 year period (both brother and dad almost died). This stopped me from going away to school. I graduated with a 3.2 from a State school but 3.7 major gpa (finance). I now work in sales for a top asset management firm. I believe that I am fully ready to take advantage of what a MBA has to offer and think it would benefit me greatly.
The question is how long do I really NEED to wait? my goal is to score over a 700 on gmat (currently studying). Aiming for t20 schools. Do I have a shot?

Hi Buckeye,
B-school education is a give and take process: you are expected to contribute just as much as you learn from others. So while feel are ready for an MBA program, are you in a position to contribute your work related experiences to the rest of the class?
A couple of years in a job will add to your profile and will enable you to contribute your experiences.

So yes, in general you are right that more experience is the norm, but keep in mind that it is not only about the amount of experience but also about what you accomplished during that time. Given that you have worked part time you might have some interesting achievements under your belt already that could work in your favor. However, I can’t really say anything about that part without knowing more about your work experience of course so feel free to reach out to ARINGO here: https://aringo.com/mba-process-registration/and describe what you have done at each place of work so far (measurable achievements are always the best) and we will give you some more specific feedback on that part (feel free to link to this post in your email if you don’t want to describe your dilemma again).
