Hey Guys,

I lurked around and searched for this topic but the information seems a bit outdated. On similar topic threads a few years ago, Harvard's 2 + 2 required college kids to apply as juniors and top MBA programs had 720 median GMAT scores.

I was just wondering which schools actually seriously consider college seniors for matriculation.

It's tough to apply without experience. Not to be disrespectful to those schools, but any school that accepts applicants straight from college may not be worth it. (Other than the deferred entry schemes like Silver Scholars / 2+2, I'm not aware of any top 10-15 b-schools that take applicants straight from college)

Stanford GSB is open to students with 0 work experience. Having said that, I'm pretty sure those folks have done something extraordinarily special in their lives. You may apply if you think you have it in you. But, as Dom said, it is advisable to gain at least a couple of years of experience first.

Thanks! I think most of the top 10 programs take kids straight out in very few numbers

Stanford GSB actually has a variable differed admission option. As a college senior you can apply to enroll 1, 2, or 3 years after graduation. You also can pick to matriculate immediately following your undergraduate graduation, but Stanford GSB reserves the right to accept you on a different time frame than you proposed above. For example you could put matriculate immediately after graduation and they accept you on the condition that you work for 2 years first, or you could apply for 1 year post-graduation and they say they want 3, etc.

That said they don't actively advertise the program like Yale does with Silver Scholars or HBS does with 2+2. I didn't even know about this until I was visiting and asked if they had anything like 2+2. I was informed that they did, but "we don't really actually advertise or tell anyone about it."
