Business Administration, B.S. To MBA

Hello, I am in a guaranteed seat accelerated program at my school in which I will graduate in 4 years with a B.S. in Business then stay an extra year and grab an MBA. Is this a good idea? When I take the GMAT( I suck at standardized tests, I must prepare well for this) I plan on sending my scores to big name schools.(Cornell, Villanova, Lehigh, Penn) Something like that. Would this be stupid? Is it dumb to go right for an MBA without work experience? Will it help/hurt my chances of getting a job outside of college? The school I am at now has a great MBA program but defanitely top 10. I do not know how it ranks, but it is a good jesuit Private university.

Should I go right for the MBA? Its only an extra year.. I want an MBA anyway... Or should I forget the MBA right away and double major in electronic commerce or economics?

Im wayyyy leaning to the MBA side, but I am just a bit confused on what is best.

Top business schools such as Cornell and Penn require a minumum of 2 years full time work experience after receiving a bachelor's degree before they will consider your application.

Thank you!

Would I be able to get an entry level job or a job out of college with an MBA and no work?

You have a good diploma , try to work 2-3 years and see if you really need an MBA for your career plan.
It s easy to get into an MBA with experience and also your MBA will be more valuable on the job market if you have some previous experience
