While many MBA programs have no minimum work experience requirement, on average MBA applicants have 3 to 7 years of pre-MBA experience.
For those applying to traditional full-time MBA programs, your chances of admission start to decrease slightly each year after the 7-year mark. The longer you wait, the more likely it is that you will run out of time to give your dream program your best shot. Consider taking the leap now!
However, do not worry if you have already passed 7 years of work experience, as Personal MBA Coach works with many experienced professionals who gain admission to top business schools by crafting a story to explain their roles to date.
If you have 6-10+ years of experience, you might also consider an EMBA program. Plus, for applicants in their final year of school, deferred MBA programs are also a great way to lock in a top MBA program before entering the workforce.
