MBA recommendation letters are one of the most misunderstood parts of the application process. Many applicants focus on choosing the most senior recommender — when what actually matters is specificity, credibility, and examples of impact.

Dear all,
getting into one of the top 3 business schools (Harvard, Wharton, Stanford) is my dream and I would like to get in as soon as possible.
I started my career in April at a Tier3 management consulting firm in Western Europe, but trying to switch to MBB/Tier2 right now.
In parallel, I am the co-founder and president of an organization in the town I am living, with the aim of giving pupils from economically and socially disadvantaged backgrounds better prespectives. We will officially launch it in late November though due to some bureaucratic issues.
Furthermore, I have Bachelor's degree in engineering from a Top-Tier Western European university and a Master's degree in engineering from MIT. My GMAT score is 740 (July 2020).
My question is: should I start preparing my application now (e.g. re-try GMAT, reach out to potential recommenders, prepare essays etc.) so that I send them to the schools in April/May 2021, with the goal of starting my MBA in August/September 2022?
By the time I would start my MBA, I would have c.2.5 years of work experience. I know it sounds relatively little, but I definitely want to study in an MBA program as soon as I can (also for personal reasons).
P.S.: In case it is too early, I would even consider switching my career prospects completely and start studying for LSAT to get into a top law school instead (planning to leave my current firm in 5 months at most, regardless of whether I get offers of MBB/Tier2 by then, because the culture is simply horrible there). So, if I will have to wait >2 more years to apply for MBA, I'll most probably go to law school instead.

Hi there,
Competitive applicants at the top MBA programs usually have around 5 years of professional experience.
Consider applying to deferred enrollment programs (HBS, Stanford and Wharton have those) which will allow you to get admitted early but defer your start date to gain more work experience.
