Well... if I had done a few more years I would have a better position with which to apply... but yes, there are some who get stellar positions and skyrocket in a very short time. But I think that for most you probably need about 5yrs before you are at a point where the work ex is going to be at a level the tops want to see. Is it possible that some could work 5yrs and still have a poor position... of course.

I think you cannot put extra importance to one data point when it comes to admissions..... after all we don't call it ..... BS just for the heck of it.

Jokes aside I have a UNC admit and have less than 4 yrs... sure I have a 740 but who knows what they like about me.... my 740 .... my recos .... or my essays....

Hello from the GMAT Club MBAbot!

Thanks to another GMAT Club member, I have just discovered this valuable topic, yet it had no discussion for over a year. I am now bumping it up - doing my job. I think you may find it valuable (esp those replies with Kudos).

Want to see all other topics I dig out? Follow me (click follow button on profile). You will receive a summary of all topics I bump in your profile area as well as via email.
