Work experience is a very important factor that business school admissions committees consider while selecting candidates for their upcoming classes. They consider not just the length of your work experience but also its quality. So, when you decide to apply to a business school and you are doing your research, average age and work experience are important criteria to look at.
In other words, If you want to get an MBA, work experience is one of the most important requirements.
Many schools have a minimum number of years of work experience that applicants must have. If you don’t have enough years under your belt, your application won’t even be looked at.
Even if you have the minimum amount of experience for a top program, you may not get in because admissions teams tend to give more weight to candidates with more experience.

One of the most important parts of applying for an MBA is figuring out how much work experience you need. So, before applying to a business school always check if they have a minimum work experience requirement or if your work experience is near the average work experience of the last incoming class.
