Can I get admission to MBA at UCLA Anderson without any prior work experience?

<p>Like most US-based B-Schools, <strong>UCLA Anderson</strong> values the work experience of an applicant and gives them priority. In fact, the MBA Class of 2026 has an <strong>average work experience</strong> of <strong>5.4 years</strong> before enrolling to the <strong>full-time MBA</strong> at <strong>UCLA Anderson</strong>.</p><p>Although, the B-School values work experience, the fresher students may apply, but they have to compensate through other parts of the UCLA application process and requirements such as scores, essay, and exceptional and relevant LORs.</p><p>The <strong>experienced applicants</strong> are also required to consider a <strong>few pointers as mentioned </strong>by this B-School:</p><p>&lt;!- [if !supportLists]-&gt;·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;!- [endif]-&gt;Quality of experience is more valued than the quantity (years) of experience</p><p>&lt;!- [if !supportLists]-&gt;·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;!- [endif]-&gt;The impact made by the students in the field they were working</p><p>&lt;!- [if !supportLists]-&gt;·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;!- [endif]-&gt;The applicants can skip to mention any jobs and responsibilities they had before or during their Baccalaureate, the school is more interested in post Baccalaureate job experience</p><p>&lt;!- [if !supportLists]-&gt;·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;!- [endif]-&gt;Leadership roles taken by the applicant during work, studies, or in community are given a lot of weightage, </p><p>&lt;!- [if !supportLists]-&gt;·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;!- [endif]-&gt;UCLA Anderson is most impressed by the applicants whose responsibilities increased over time, those who grow faster than their peers are given priority at UCLA Anderson.</p>
