I currently have experience of 1.25 years and am planning to apply in 2nd Round of tier 1 and tier 2 MBA Universities.

Hi poojapoddar,

Many Business Schools expect applicants to have 2-5 years of solid work experience. Since Work Experience is such an important part of the application at most Schools, you likely won't find many Top Programs that have high acceptance rates for those applicants with less-than-average Work Experience (and because of the ranking/popularity of Top Programs, you're not likely to find many that have high acceptance rates overall, regardless of the amount of Work Experience that applicants have).

Applying to (and ultimately attending) Business School requires a significant investment of time, money and energy on your part, so you might want to focus more on finding a Program that fits your career goals (as opposed to just finding one that will likely let you in).

As an aside, you might be able to strengthen your application enough with some well-written essays and a strong interview so that your Work Experience would be less of a factor.

My interest is full time MBA and this program is a perfect fit for me.
There could be few universities that would not be giving experience much importance.
And I would like to know about them.

Thanks,
Pooja

Hi Pooja,

While it might be tempting just to go for a School that is likely to accept you, there are a variety of questions that YOU have to answer about what you want out of an MBA and the parameters that are important to you. You've already mentioned how you want to apply for a Full-time Program, but there are other factors to consider, including:

1) Is there a particular company that you want to work for or industry that you want to work in? Certain degrees are more appropriate than others if you have a specific career goal. 
2) What do you want your MBA to do for you? 
3) Are you willing to relocate? Are you comfortable with working through a program that is primarily online? 
4) Are you going to be applying for scholarships? 
Etc.

Once you've determined what type of Program you want to attend (as well as the other variables involved), then you can start to research and narrow down the possibilities.
