Tracy, with your educational qualifications in place, you are definitely eligible to apply for MBA in US B-School.
Some schools do place some emphasis on work experience, though not mandatory. Secondly, depending on your nationality i.e. whether you are an overseas student or an US citizen, some criteria/ tests might be different.
Regarding your application, post selection of B-School, the most critical step is that of writing a sound essay, which can easily be achieved by investing in a consultant or even doing it oneself if you are confident enough.

Thank you so much for the explaination,

I was really worried when I get the message from one of Canada B-schools call UBC.

.

They actually require 4 full year study of bachelor degree and very high requirement on GPA.

Then I heard from you and I think, phew.... I'm relieved and I will apply for B school in US.

Generally, a business school will want you to have a degree from a "4 year" institution. The path that you took to get the degree doesn't really matter (some people may take three years and others five), but, it is my understanding that it is important to have a true bachelor's degree and not an associate's degree.

Also, it is important to have work experience for an MBA. While not required, it is very difficult to be admitted to a strong program without real world experience.

Good luck!

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
