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!
