I've been going back and forth lately on whether or not applying for an MBA next year (Class of 2022) would be too early for me.
I have two main reasons for pursuing an MBA at this time(I have an actual story for applications):
1. I'm looking to relocate to NYC and haven't had much luck in terms of my current job search. I'm very unhappy in my current city and role, and I feel coming out of an MBA and having a "fresh start" would make this a lot easier.
2. My end goal is corporate development and strategy in the healthcare space, specifically targeting pharma/biotech or stay in life sciences. Out of an MBA program I'll be targeting IB for 2-3 years. If this falls through I'll be targeting an LDP in the healthcare space. If that falls through I'll be targeting tech.
Work experience: Would have a little under 2.5 years at application and 3.25 at matriculation. I'm working at a F100 life sciences company as a financial analyst and received an early promotion after my first year. Not sure if I'll receive another before application, but I'm going to push for a senior analyst promotion. I've generated $40k profit for the division, have had work exposed to the c-suite, and some other big projects constantly working with directors and VP's.
GMAT: 710
GPA: 3.72 gen eds at community college. 3.92 Summa Cum Laude in finance at a non-flagship state school.
EC's: Nothing too crazy here, volunteered at a mental health clinic, red cross volunteer, participated in two charity 5k's.
Recommendations: Most of the schools I would be applying to require one. I'd be asking my director (T15 grad, 10ish years in F500).
R1 Applications (in order of preference): Kenan-Flagler, Johnson, Fuqua, Tepper, Stern
R2 (if not accepeted R1): Goizueta, McDonough

Given your target schools, you can apply next year confidently. You have an average GMAT, good GPAs and a solid brand on your resume. From here, its more about the impact of your stories that will get you into a business school (Stern being the hardest in your list), not so much about one year lesser in average work experience.

Most MBA programs expect students to spend about three to six years in the workforce before applying for business school, but younger candidates may consider some deferred admissions opportunities offered by the top MBA programs. You can learn more about these programs here:
