http://www.hbs.edu/mba/admissions/faq.html Are there specific types of work experience that will make me a more attractive candidate? Rather than focus on specific categories of work experiences, applicants should focus on their roles, responsibilities, and what they have learned from the types of work experiences that they have been involved in. The Admissions Staff will look at the nature of the applicant’s work experience when evaluating the applicants’ ability to handle the academic rigor of our MBA program. http://www.gsb.stanford.edu/mba/faq/qa_admission.html#Do_I_have_to_work_for_one_of_the_top_five_companies_in_my_field_in_order_to_be_a_competitive_candidate_for_admission_to_the_Stanford_MBA_Program_What_if_I_come_from_a_non-traditional_background Do I have to work for one of the top companies in my field to be competitive for admission? What if I come from a "non-traditional" background? We make a concerted effort to attract and admit students from a broad range of professional backgrounds and experiences. Therefore, there are no preferred industries or sets of companies that put you at a competitive advantage in the admission process. Although investment banks and management consulting firms are represented at Stanford, we also draw students from non-profit organizations, multi-national corporations, family businesses, entrepreneurial ventures, and the public sector. And our personalized education challenges each of you to maximize your potential, regardless of background or experience. As you approach your MBA application, keep in mind that we are more interested in the impact you have had in your workplace than the name or stature of your organization. Have you made the most of your professional opportunities? Are you cultivating your leadership and team skills and making a difference? In the end, don't build your resume simply to be an attractive business school applicant, but rather seek opportunities that are truly challenging and rewarding for your own professional and personal growth. http://www.wharton.upenn.edu/mba/admissions/faqs/index.cfm#Q24 How much work experience do most accepted students have? Is there a particular type of work experience Wharton seeks? The average student has worked for 5 or 6 years between college and the MBA program. The Admissions Committee looks for individuals who exhibit professional maturity. In other words, we evaluate work experience not in terms of years but the depth and breadth of an individual's position, his or her contributions to the work environment, and level of responsibility and progression. Wharton looks for diversity in the professional backgrounds of its admitted students just as it does in all other parts of our applicants' profiles. No one industry is favored over another, and experience in a Fortune 500 company does not have higher value than experience in a small business or public institution.
