Hi -
Thanks for your post. Several top MBA schools have programs for students directly out of undergrad, including HBS and Yale.

Other top programs do take candidates directly from undergrad, but usually they are from the same school and have a special circumstance (i.e. international students going back to their home country or candidates returning to a family business).

Otherwise, its extremely difficult to get into a top ranked program without previous WE.

Regards,

NP
