3.95 GPA in accounting from a no name state school.
750 GMAT ( 45V, 48Q, 4.5 AWA, 8 IR)
I will only have 2 years of post bachelors full time experience if I apply this fall but I worked full time throughout my time in college because I started a business with my father during my freshman year. The business was the main reason I didn't attend a more prestigious undergrad. I took over reins of the business during my senior year and it has grown substantially under my leadership. I want the MBA to try something new and expand my network. Goal is to work in consulting for a few years and then either move to industry or start another business.

Hi there!
You have great academic stats - impressive GMAT and GPA (even if a no name school)
Most schools will ask for your total months of full time work experience post college until you matriculate, so numbers wise you'll technically be on the low end but qualitatively they will take into account your full time work throughout college (which is impressive on top of the great GPA). It also sounds like you have accelerated leadership experience (for your age) if you took over the reins in college so b-schools will like that.
I think you should give it a shot this year as your stats are competitive and your work experience sounds pretty substantial. Just make sure you have very clear reasons for why you want an MBA. Trying something new is a totally valid reason but the AdCom will want to know more specifics about skills you need to develop, areas you need to learn, why consulting is a good fit for you, etc.
Good luck!
Kate
