Thanks for all the comments,

it appears work experience is the key to getting into B-school, so I should just view as getting my masters as a way of landing a good job to improve my profile. Is a year of full-time work experience (at time of application) enough? How many years would you recommend?

Something I found interesting about UCLA Anderson is that their program doesn’t require any work experience. They state that they do tend to accept students straight from undergrad. In my case, would you apply to immediately after graduating or would you choose to work??

Thanks!
