internship/co-op experience

by Chebyshev » Wed Jan 04, 2012 7:50 am
hello all!

When applying to business school, do adcoms value experience gained before graduation (aka from a co-op or internship)? I had approximately 1 year of experience as a co-op student before I graduated college, and it actually delayed my graduation by a semester. Just wondering if I will be regarded as someone with 2.5 years of experience or 3.5 years of experience when I apply. I know the "number" isn't as important as the "quality", but I feel like 3.5 looks a lot better on paper than 2.5.

Any insight would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Chebyshev
