Most accredited MBA programs will require at least 2-3 years of experience, and 4-5 years to be competitive. If you don't have the 4-5 years, you're going to want to out-score the average GMAT scores at the business schools that you apply to.
For instance, SUNY Buffalo has a relatively low average work experience, at 27 months, but the average GMAT score is around 640. I'd say you should be looking at 700+ to be competitive as a program like this.
Virginia Tech - Pamplin would be another US b-school that recruits younger candidates; it has an average work experience of around 21 months. Average GMAT score there is 626.
Other alternatives would of course include master in management programs, which are aimed at students with little to no work experience.
