I am thinking about getting an MBA. I was told recently by a guy who retired as head of Shell Oil's Africa office (or something) and now consults for Columbia University's MBA admissions office that they wouldn't even consider me unless I had several years of private sector hands-on experience. Just a perspective.
On the bright side I have four years' of progressive experience in my field; it's not a lot but it's enough to appear established, I think. Of course, Columbia could find a dozen reasons to deny me in the blink of an eye, were I to apply there. Dat undergrad GPA, it ain't so great.
