I'm currently an analyst at a boutique ibank in NYC and for a personal reason, am looking to apply to a good MBA program (not top notch like HBS or Wharton but good like BC, BU etc.)
My stats are okay I think. I went to one of the top colleges with a decent GPA (3.67). Haven't taken GMAT but I'm confident in my ability to do fine.
The problem is that I've only been in the workforce since Feb. and by the time I apply, I will have been working for roughly 9-10 months. I understand that this will hinder my chances, but I have no idea how much.
Say I can come up with some compelling reason as to why I want to go for an MBA this early, how high do you think my chances would be at:
BU
BC
Sloan - I know this is not exactly "not on par with HBS Wharton" but I wanna give it a shot.
Rochester
UVA
USC (socal)
Thanks a lot.

Longatum,
The numbers speak for themselves. The percentage of Darden's last class that had one year or less of work experience was ... zero. At Sloan and USC it was an uninspiring 1%. It was also 1% at Boston College, but BC isn't UVa, MIT, or USC, so given your GPA and a 700 or so GMAT, BC might take you anyway.
Things start looking better at BU and Rochester. Almost a tenth of BU's class had a year or less work experience, and it's also a school where good numbers might help you overcome any youth bias. Your Shangri-la may be Rochester, an excellent finance school that boasts an amazing 57% in the crucial category: students with work experience of one year or less.
I hope this helps,

Thank you so much for the helpful information Paul. It's great to know that Rochester is more open to young professionals since I happen to like the school quite a bit - and yes, I would like to stay in the finance track.
Another question, if you don't mind. I've been wondering how important a factor one's college GPA is in the admission process. My girlfriend went to a very prestigious college but graduated with a rather below average GPA (a bit less than 3.0) She's working for an ivnestment management firm at the moment and will be looking to enter an MBA program (good but not top-notch - just like me) in the future. Given she will have 2-3 years of experiences, do you think she still stands a decent chance with that GPA?
Again, thanks a lot.
