As the title mentions, I've been employed for six years and I've been completing on the job training throughout. I'm currently completing the final year of a bachelors degree part time with that company and want to jump into an MBA next year.
So my questions are:
- Would a university or business school even consider offering a place to someone with a 'currently studying' status on their bachelors? Even if they have 6 years of relevant work experience?
- Has anyone ever received a conditional MBA offer with the criteria of finishing their bachelors first? (perhaps with a certain grade)
I ask this because traditionally it would be rare to see on an MBA application, since the normal route would be to finish bachelors study, get some years employment, and then apply.
Thanks for your time.
Jay.

Most MBA programs will not consider pre-bachelor's work experience as work experience, unfortunately.
