You will struggle to find good US schools who require more work experience simply because they prefer younger candidates (read 2-3 years). You are better of focussing in Europe or Asia Pacific.Thanks,
Thanks,

I think the previous statement is such a large blanket statement that is not necessarily true. Have schools been trending towards younger applicants? 2/3 years ago yes, but the average can only go so low right? right! 8 yrs of experience is a lot of business school applicants, but not unheard of. i think you'd have to ask yourself, why do you want to go into consulting? is it to then transition into another field after 2/3 years (which is what many people do?) can you go into that field w/o an MBA or w/o going into consulting? What's your end game? That may help clarify things for the "experts" on here. Also, have you looked into other types of MBA programs? PT....Exec..... etc?
My goal is to make MBA applicants take onus over their process.
