hey, i am a engineering student frm india and i am currently in my final year. i am planning on giving gmat nxt month. i wanted to know if their is any point of applyin to a reputed b school in US without any kind of experience. will this hinder my chances????how important is the job experience???

Hello,

Work experience is VERY important. Nearly all top U.S. business schools require (or at least strongly recommend) at least a couple of years of full-time work experience. The reason is that the companies that hire new MBAs don't want to hire completely inexperienced managers; they want young professionals who have at least a little professional "seasoning."

We strongly recommend that you get 2-3 years of full-time experience under your belt before applying. Otherwise, your best hope will be a lower-ranked (below the top 30) school.

Good luck!
Scott
