Hello,
I would like to apply to HBS and Columbia ED in September for a Fall 2013 admit, however I am concerned about the length of my work experience. I graduated in May 2011 from a top 20 university majoring in Finance with Magna Cum Laude distinction and a 3.7 GPA. I currently have 12 months of full-time employment as an analyst in Finance Valuation Advisory/Consulting along with 2+ years of Part-time Finance internships while enrolled in school. I have solid internships in Finance, a great story for essays and will have great recommendations.
I will have 2 years of full-time experience as of the beginning of the Fall 2013 term. How will HBS/Columbia or any business school view my 1 year and 3 months of work experience as of the application date? My concern is whether business schools would rather applicants with 2+ years of work experience as of the application date or as of the beginning of business school date.
Thank you
