Dude, Don't let the lack work -ex pull you down. You have an excellent GMAT score. Use that. While shortlisting universities, pay attention to class profile statistics, this will tell you which colleges look at people with low or no Work Ex. I'm sure you'll have a high GPA as well, use that for your...

There are very few schools that actually accept a 3 year degree. I h...
