Hi Sir,

I wanted to know more about the work experience required in MBA admission.

In general if I am targeting top 10 B school how much work ex would you recommend me just to be on the safer side. A couple of my friends have made it top schools like Wharton, Duke and Darden even with work experience around 3 to 4 years.. although the average they quote is much higher.. like around 5 years or so.. What would you advise..?

I wanted to get some information in this regard.

Hi james1990,

Thanks for your post. For top business programs, the average years of work experience will vary, although the high majority of programs will like to see at least 2 years of work experience.

Cheers,
Conrad and the Stacy Blackman Team
