    depends on the school call around

    I was looking at Wharton, one of the best in the country, the other day. I noticed someone got in straight from under-grad w/ no work experience. Yes, it can be done. It helps. However, you may be a super student and don’t need it. It also depends on the school. Higher ranked schools can be picky. A low ranked school will let anyone who can spell their name in.

    If you are 20-21- I would get some experience in the workforce. You might find you want to focus on a specific area of business
    (HR, marketing, econ for example). I think you would learn where your strengths and weaknesses are after a year or two on the job.
