I am a bit young for business school. Im 23 and I just finished college in January. I do realize that my age and lack of prof. experience may exclude me from some programs at the moment.
Are their certain career choices, etc. that may make it easier?

I'm 23 (turning 24 in March). I will have 3 years of work experience when (if?) I matriculate in the Fall of '08.
I think it's all about Why now? You have to show adcoms why you need to back to school now and can't wait a few years. You also have to show the adcoms that you know what your future short-term and long-term goals are. If you don't have clear goals, then it's obvious you need more time to mature.
I think it's important to stress in your essays, recos, and GMAT score that you are mature enough and ready to earn an MBA. Are younger people at a disadvantage? Perhaps, but it's not an impossible hill to climb if you put together a good application package. IMO, the age isn't as much of a concern as the zero work experience,

consulting and I banking makes it easier for people with 2 years of experience to get into top schools like Harvard and Stanford. Other schools generally want 4 years or more, unless you're a phenom.
Definitely have spectacular work experience/reviews, great rec letters, and good solid extracurricular leadership.
