Hello there! Some schools like one year of work experience—like HBS and Stanford, for example. HBS a biiiit less so, since they have their 2+2 program of course. But at the same time, most schools would prefer to see just a bit more work experience—three years as a solid minimum. So are you qualified for some of the schools that are open to such young candidates? J If yes, you could be in business this year! Otherwise, 3 years is a better baseline of work experience for you as you apply to most top-20 programs. Good luck, and hope this helps!
