I am currently a senior at the University of Tampa.
I plan on attending grad school to pursue my MBA.
I recently did my GMAT and got a 650, and my GPA is about 3.80.
I have 2 years of experience, and I am currently 22 years old.
I would like to know what are the chances of me being accepted to schools where the average age is much higher than 22 and that also where the average experience is greater than 2 years.

I have applied to the University of Tampa thus far as well as Rollins College and the University of Florida. I would, however, like to apply to schools that are better in rank. But I want to know what are the chances that I would actually be accepted although I don't have much experience.


Thanks :)

Dear madhu1126,

It is always possible you might get into a higher ranked program. However, you will most likely be viewed as an applicant with no work experience. Work experience, per admissions reporting standards, is professional full-time work post-bachelor's degree. While your work experience is important and will be evaluated with your application, it is possible you will be viewed as an applicant with no work experience coming straight from undergraduate studies.

Consequently, you will be competing for the small number of seats most program are willing to give to folks coming straight from undergraduate studies. For this subset of the applicant pool, programs will expect you to have GMAT and GPA numbers above the school's average. If you feel you can make a compelling case for admission, with a solid rationale for why now versus working for a few years, then I think you should apply and see what happens.

Best of luck,
Lisa
