3.6 GPA English Tier 1 School
4.0 Study abroad at University of Cambridge

Studying for GMAT now.

Graduated 2007, employed at a finance company 6 months, relocated and unemployed for 5 months due to very poor economy at that time in that area (spring/summer 2008), employed 6 months at another finance company, then moved out of that place and started my real career at current company, been here 1.5 years. I am in capital asset finance as a senior account manager, top producer. I wouldn't count my first two jobs after college as solid work experience, I was just a trainee, although I set records at both companies...so 1.5 years here, is that enough experience or how long should I wait.

Can you convey what you can add to an MBA program given your "limited" experience? If there is depth behind the experience then maybe....
My goal is to make MBA applicants take onus over their process.

I think you have enough experience to apply. As long as you can show what you learned at each job and the impact that you made. Good luck!
