work experience defined

by 800guy » Wed Sep 20, 2006 8:46 pm
hi stacy:

first of all--thanks so much for being on this forum! your advice is fantastic, and i may request your company's services when i'm ready to apply.

i have a simple question for you--i'm kinda embarassed to ask. but when i look at the class profiles on the various mba schools' websites and see the average years of work experience, does these numbers represent the years of work experience at the time of applying, or the years of work experience at the time of matriculating?

ex. what does it mean when a school recommends 4 years work experience? 4 years at the time of applying or 4 years at the time of matriculating?

appreciate your response!!

Actually a great question - it's at the time of matriculation - so you have a full year that will count for you after submitting your application.
