Hello Fellow Gmat Club Members,
I wanted to ask if doing an MBA at age 21-25 is beneficial? There are a few top tier business schools (Oxford's MBA FAQ Page states minimum age as 21, MIT says they will consider applicants who just graduated, London Business School, Stanford).
But then I look at the MBA class profiles for these schools and it shows, for example, average age 27- work experience: 4-5 years. This leaves me conflicted about what the adcoms are actually looking for? Also, I managed to find a list of students admitted in the MBA class of 2016-2017 and they had strong job titles before starting the MBA, for example, at managerial levels so managerial job titles.
I am interested on hearing your thoughts.
Kind Regards,
Confused Student

I would recommend to get some experience first and then go for an MBA.
Reason, after you work for some time you get a clear picture of where you want to go with your career rather than just jumping from grad to post grad

I have a few years of experience with startups; however, it appears that business schools want to see growth and strong results. I feel like a person who became a programmer, for example, at Google and within a few years is promoted to project manager - business schools would want this candidate. Unfortunately, with startups it will take longer to showcase the business growing from 2-5 employees to 10-20 employees.
