A lot of schools are taking a closer look at candidates straight out of school. However the successful ones have some form of work experience, even if it is part time, or during the summer. you need to have some track record established, have something to bring to the classroom discussion and have a basis for your goals. The fact that you have NO work experience is worrisome. However, on a positive side the school leadership will serve you well. I suggest you wait a few years.
