Hi GMAT Club,
This is my first post on this forum which has proven to be my guiding light for GMAT prep. Just a quick background intro, I have of work ex at an asset management firm in Mumbai. I have a first class honours degree from Middlesex Uni (London) and an MSc. Finance from St. Andrews. I am currently preparing for my GMAT (due to appear in November). Hopeful of being able to cross the 700 barrier in the 2 months leading up to the GMAT.
I am at a bit of a crossroads with respect to my application eligibility. My preferences (in order) are enlisted below:
1. LBS
2. Imperial
3. Oxbridge
LBS and Oxford both accept 2 years of work ex and above. However, Imperial and Warwick all ask for 3 years of work ex (at the time of application) and Cambridge asks for 3 at the time of joining. So basis that, I would not be able to apply to WBS and Imperial Business Schools. I did a quick check with some of my friends currently at WBS (MBA), and they stated that there are quite a few student who had 1- 1.5 years of work ex at the time of joining. This is quite a stark contrast to their website requirements. Ive had similar mixed responses from Imperial which also states min. 3 years work ex but has been known to accept ppl with a lot less.
I would really appreciate some insight on this, as it will drastically influence whether I apply for 2020 or 2021 intakes.
Thanks in advance everyone.

Most of the schools require minimum 2 years, that you already have. If you get 700 in GMAT, you will have a great chance to get admit in all the desired schools. However, you need to show your leadership potentiality with great essays, and strong recommendations.

Thank you for such a prompt reply. Yes the 2 year work ex threshold was my impression too.
The main reason behind this question was the fact that Imperial, Warwick and Cambridge clearly state a min. of 3 years work ex on their website (not 2 years like LBS and Oxford) despite my direct knowledge of students getting in with less (1-2 yrs at WBS).
I had even submitted my CV for a profile review with WBS and the response wasn’t very positive as my work ex was below 3 yrs.
