Hello, i am an international student currently preparing for the GMAT.I recently received my undergraduate degree on accounting from "Universidad de Carabobo" in Venezuela,because of this i do not have a GPA.I ranked #7 in a 185 students class.

I took an internship on internal auditing and worked in an accounting department in my last year of college.

I want to apply for Rice University Jones school of business MBA program.However,i do not know how bad it can affect my lack of work experience to my application and i would like to have the opinion of an expert.Additionally,based on this i would like you to suggest me a second option for my application,my two choices for that place are UC anderson and Texas A&M.

PS: i got 97 in the TOEFL ibt and my goal for the GMAT is 700 or above.

Thank You.

Hi there,

Good for you for doing some research and planning now... I suggest getting that GMAT under your belt soon no matter what as statistically people do better the sooner they take it after undergrad. And scores are valid for 5 years.

That said, average admitted applicants have 5 years of full-time post-undergrad work experience at most top 20-30 or so US schools and a quick glance at Rice's profile shows the same... schools prefer that people have a wider variety of experiences to draw from within classroom discussions, so it could be tough at this point. You could look at MiM programs, or consider working a while first, or look at the profiles and stats for other programs outside the top 30 or so..

Thank You for your response,so in lights of my lack of work experience,how many years should i work in order to have a solid application?

In general I'd suggest having at least 3 years before matriculating (so 2 years before applying), and of course quality of experience is even more important, so getting some leadership experience, people and project management experiences, exposure to diverse problems and situations, developing communication and teamwork skills... all help!
