Are 3 years of work experience enough to get admitted in a top business school? (For example: Cass, Oxford, and Warwick)

Almost every BS requires 3 years of managerial work experience. But there is a huge difference between the requirements and the reality!! Nearly 5 years of work experience are mandatory to get admitted in one of the above mentioned schools.

I think the majority of the applicants have a bachelor degree (3-4 years), and only a few of them have a Master or PhD.

In my case: I have a Diploma in Engineering (Diplm. Eng = 5 Years) and a master (2 years ---> so the whole duration of the education: 7 years). If I didn?t study for the master, I would have 5 years of work experience at the time of enrollment.

Do you think my application would be considered (with 3 years of work experience)? Do you think a good level of education is a suitable compensation?

Thanks.

I think you can get away with 3 years, as long as your marks where good, you have some recommendations and maybe did some good extra curricular. and off course, a very high GMAT score would help.

Yes you can. In Management even you can apply after schooling without any formal graduation.... Just you need to prove you have a valuable experience that will contribute an essence in your management class.

@BB King:

You can definitely apply! Make sure to write good essays! 650+ Score in GMAT will strengthen ur application. But even 600+ might be enough, subject to quality of work-ex, references & essays. :)

Best of luck for your application!
